I got off my lazy ass the last couple days and loaded up some 9mm and .44 magnum.
500 rounds of 115 grain FMJ Winchester 0.355" TA02 WB9MC115X. I used 4.5 grains of Titegroup powder, mixed brand cases, WSP primers, for a target velocity of ~1135 fps. The Overall Length was anywhere between 1.10" - 1.126", because of the large variation in these budget Winchester bullets. They chronographed an average of 1120 fps through a 3" barreled Taurus G2C, and ~1180 fps through a 4" barreled Glock 19. These are low-budget plinkers.
The 100 rounds of .44 magnum were Hornady 240 grain XTP #44200, behind 19.6 grains of Alliant 2400 powder, Winchester large pistol magnum primers, and have a 1.604" OAL. They chronograph to ~1350 fps through a 7" barreled Iver Johnson (Uberti) New Cattleman Magnum, which is pretty darned stout. I have to watch the cylinder pin when I shoot these, because it has a tendency to slide out.
