429 DE 10" Barrel Chrono-Data...

[MrBlackCat]

So I finally got the 10" 429DE barrel in. Because I don't reload and 429DE ammo is non-existent right now, I didn't shoot it much beyond taking the chronograph data, but here is what I got...
(I didn't get temp and humidity, but in was around 80F)

Glacier Ridge factory ammo.
429DE 10" Barrel...
240gr averaged 1790fps/1708ft-lbs
210gr averaged 1943fps/1761ft-lbs

Is anyone reloading this to see if this is maxed out or not?

I am pleased with the results for sure. When ammo comes available, I will get some accuracy tests. I was able to hit a silhouette I have out at 175 yards, two of six shots. I will get at reasonable distances as soon as I get some ammo.

Interesting, thanks for sharing. I reload but only .50AE so I can't comment on the velocities of 429DE.

I had a 440 Corbon barrel for mine, a few years back, and everyone says the 440 was
a lot hotter than the 429! I NEVER got velocities like that in my 440, and I loaded them
HOT!

G’day MrBlackCat,

Did you get your 10” barrel directly from KAHR ?


I will give them a try..
