I figure it gives me a minimum 100 fps advantage over jacketed at the same pressures, maybe a bit mroe. I can push a 240 SWCGC at 2150 fps from the 16" Marlin. My normal hunting load is the 310 gr. FNGC at 1800-1900 in both carbine and Encore pistol. The Redhawk drops the 310 gr. to 1500-1550 but it has a long 9-1/2" tube too. All of it will shoot through even a big hog at about any angle.
You know you can seat into the throat on that single shot and do naughty things. It's OK, cause it sure won't fit into anything else.

Yeah, but the 429 GNR holds a lot more powder...
