Thread: Falcon Steel Claimed Speeds

I’ve always been intrigued by the speeds claimed on the box of Falcon Ultra Steel ammunition.

2 3/4” 32gr HV steel 1450fps
2 3/4” 35gr Ultra steel 1460fps (10 fps faster then the lighter load?)
3” 36gr Super steel 1450fps (10 fps slower the the 2 3/4” ultra steel?)

I’ve always wondered how the ultra steel gets 1460fps in the 2 3/4” shell with a 35gr payload. Faster then the lighter HV steel load and faster then the 3” super steel load that should have more powder.

Has anyone ever put these past a chrony or something to verify the claimed speeds? My gut feel is the ultra steel is overstated but it would be interesting to know!
