Re: Taylors and Co. New '73
Per BBTI, a 125grn Cor Bon 9mm in a 16" levergun gives up about 700 fps to a 125grn Cor Bon .357mag. That's way, way too much velocity loss to make the 9mm worth considering in my book. The 9mm sub2k manual says 1520fps for the 115gr+p and 589 fp muzzle energy from the 16 inch barrel. How does...
