A: Thanks for reaching out Jake! It's my understanding that the minimum velocity for expansion with a TSX is right in the range of 1,800 fps. I want to make sure that's the actually the case with this round, though, so I'll ask my guy at Black Hills for his thoughts and get right back to you.

A: Hi Val! As luck would have it Black Hills sent me their own ballistic data for this ammo a couple months ago. They used a 16" barrel. I'm afraid I haven't got any data collected from a 18" barrel, nor is it possible for me to extrapolate.
Muzzle velocity: 3,175 fps
Velocity @ 500 yds: 1,263.57
Elevation angle: 0.0°
Wind direction: 3:00
Wind velocity: 10 mph
Lift: 0 mph
Elevation: 0 ft
Temp: 59 °F
Humidity: 78%
Pressure: 29.53 mmHg
G1 BC: 0.201

A: This is exceptional ammo which we hope to have in stock soon, but we can't promise exactly when. We're working hard every day to get more ammo into our warehouse, so please check back in with us often to see how we can be of service!

A: Greetings Daniel,
The 50 Grain Barnes TSX HP by Black Hills is indeed the optimized load.
