I have been interested of late in Super Vel ammo. I killed my first
deer with a handgun using the stuff. 180 gr 44mag jhp. Nice fat doe
of app 110lbs. Shot her thru both shoulders at app 50yds. What a
mess. This was app 1981. Had a rich dr who owned the first chrony
I ever saw run some of this stuff thru his screens. Only sacrificed
3crds. Avg1803 fps. M29 S&W 8 3/8 barrel. I never could get close
to those speeds handloading. I used a max load of 32gr ww 296 and
180gr sierra in same pistol. Best I could get was almost 1700. Kicked
more than the Super Vel too. Anybody know what load ole Lee used
for the factory Stuff. My load came from Sierra Mnl #2. My next fav
fact load was ww fact 240gr swc. It would clock over 1500. It too is
no longer made. Now I shoot ww usa 240gr jsp. The box says 1180.
Thats fast enough for me. Good load Fair price and it will still kill a deer,

Lee shouldn't be too hard to track down. IIRC he used to post here, then I think he put his own forum together. If you can't Google and find him Terry M. might know hot to contact him.

I would bet that Lee knows.
Why don't you ask him?

Lee Jurras or Richard Lee?

I don't believe Mr. Jurras is registered on this version of the Leverguns forum.

That would be Lee Jurras.

Lee Jurras used to post on the old Sixgunner.com site. His handle was curmudgeon, I believe. That site's been replaced by Single-Actions.com, IIRC. jd45

Talk about a blast from the past!
Last time I saw him, was at a match ( handgun silhouette ) over in Jal, New Mexico.
But that was many, many years ago.

Mr. Jurras still post over on the WWW.singleactions.com forum from time to time. I meet him about a month and a half ago. He offered to sell me some speed loaders and stuff for a S&W 25-5 that I had bought. When he found I lived along the route he was using to go to NM he offered to meet me in person and drop them off.

We only had a few minutes to talk as he had places to be that night. But I got to meet him and his lovely wife. Something I will not soon forget.
