I am transcribing this.
LOAD---------------------------------VELOCITY@12'--Energy@12'
Win AA Sporting Clays(No.8)--------------832fps-----338ft.lbs.
Win Super-X(No. 7 1/2)--------------------760fps-----282ft.lbs.
Remington(No.6)----------------------------792fps-----306ft.lbs.
Federal(No.6)--------------------------------712fps-----248ft.lbs.
Win Super-X(No.4)--------------------------779fps-----297ft.lbs.
Rexio Buckshot(00,4 pellets)--------------738fps-----266ft.lbs.
Win Buckshot(000,3 pellets)--------------777fps-----295ft.lbs.
Federal Rifled Slug(1/4oz)-----------------1125fps---318ft.lbs.
There's also some data on .45 Colt rounds, if anyone is interested, I will transcribe it as well.
Can someone tell me what all of this means? I understand what it's saying but don't know if it's good results or not. Any input is appreciated.
Thanks
