I load this one over 16.5 grains of 2400 for just about 1,000 fps from a 4 3/4" gun. This would be considered a "+P" load, so we don't use it in older guns. .
Upon further review, I have further questions. So....the Keith is a bullet? A heavier one, requiring more gun powder for similar velocity and trajectory? Where do I find these rounds? Not Cabelas?
