VENTED TEST-BARREL BALLISTICS

This Remington®-patented, industry accepted method provides data that more precisely reflect actual use of revolver ammunition.  It considers cylinder gap, barrel length, powder position, and production tolerances.  Although our final values differ from conventional figures, the ammunition is unchanged.  Key elements of our patented procedure include: (a) horizontal powder orientation; (b) cylinder gap: .008"; (c) barrel length: 4".
