Videos tagged with Triple FG Goex

This video provides a range review of Kaido 240-grain, .44 caliber bullets. The reviewer, Dustin Winegar, found that these bullets did not universally fit popular .44 caliber revolvers like the Remington New Model Army and 1847 Walker Colt without modification. The 1860 Army Colt, with some prior modification, provided a good fit. Shooting was limited to the 1860 Army Colt with a 30-grain charge of Triple FG Goex black powder, yielding an average velocity of 691 fps at 45 feet.

This video tests .36 caliber Colt conical bullets in an 1851 Colt Navy revolver using two different 17-grain powder charges: Goex Triple FG black powder and Pyrodex P substitute. The Goex load resulted in a lower average velocity (732.4 fps) and a wider spread, with the instructor expressing dissatisfaction with the grouping at 50 feet. The Pyrodex P load yielded a higher average velocity (866.6 fps) and a slightly wider spread, but performed better overall in this specific test. The instructor notes that 17 grains may not be the optimal load for this bullet type and plans further testing.
