250gr LFP 12.0 gr. Lil’Gun 1,186 fps 1.649" CCI 550 Admin Fired from a 5.5" Redhawk, 45 deg. F. For these to fit in the Ruger I had to use 38 Special cases. The bullet is a 35 caliber rifle LFP from Beartooth. This data has not been pressure tested; it didn’t show any signs of being over pressure but should still be approached with caution.
