[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3086009, member: 15054"] Gas check is to keep the bullet locked in so it spins down the bore following the rifling as we know . Let the bullet not grip the rifling and it will slide straight and lots of leading. The bullets I have sent too fast in my 45acp will slide or skid through the barrel and keyhole on paper.. well not keyhole as much as hit the paper sideways. I have went to 2000 fps accurately with gas checked 170gr alox lubed bullet from 30-30. Less twist rate could allow more velocity. heck look at a muzzleloader. I suppose when the weather warms I need to do a test on just that question. Lexington with a chrony and some reloading equipment... sounds interesting. [/QUOTE]
