Thread: Falcon Steel Claimed Speeds

I haven't put any of those loads through the chronograph, but a few years back I put through 4 different loads. Eley lightning steel, Remington nitro steel, kent fasteel and one other that I can't remember. What I found was that the more $$$ you pay the closer the velocities were to what the manufacturer claimed and also the variations in velocities over several rounds of the same brand were closer together. Eley lightning steel was the worst, it's velocities were all over the place and nowhere near the speed they claimed. They were actually the slowest out of all of them but claimed the highest velocity. There's a guy on YouTube that's called "surviving duck season" he done a nine part series on everything about guns, ammo and chokes and it's pretty comprehensive. Definitely an eye opener and worth the watch.
