Don't figure you'll get too much more. 22 inch Tikka an 75 eldm with RL23 3300 was it. Only had bout 40 or so down barrel then. Alpha SRP. Bolt got snug so I didn't push it anymore. Switched to Varget.
On my 7mm-08 which I didn't not chronograph out of a 24 inch barrel to begin with. But the factory hornady ammo was suppose to 2950 which I doubt. I got 2756 out of a 16.5 inch gun so average of 25fps per inch if the ammo was moving that fast. I'd say you'll be 3200 for sure hopefully 3300 mark
I think with heavier bullets some have better success with H1000 but I think 4350 will get you there. I think my buddy averages around 3440 or with his I know it's over 3400 but that's 22 inch barrel. From what I've seen so far on shortening my 7mm-08 don't lose quite as much fps as you'd think
I have a friend running that same combo an I think he settled on 41.7 for accuracy with 75s. Varget is worth a look if you have any. I tried everything but H1000 an Retumbo. STABALL Match shot very close to varget with touch less powder. Wasn't much info I could find. My next one will be 18...
Should be able to do 41 gr with 4350 idk what your brass or length is. 80gr eldms you can get 42gr. I'm getting 3514 with 39.4gr of varget with 75 eldm. 22 inch barrel. From what I've seen in my guns about 20-30 fps per inch so you should be able to get 3200 or 3300 I'd think with right combo
As soon as I get mine back in a month or so I'm gonna chrono the factory ammo an handloads. I got 2810 with 180eldm 22 inch barrel. Think I may pick up Federal to try to. I'm sure their still using Alliant powder. I'd say Hornady is probably staball HD looks like several companies are using it...
Was walking in to do set an was scanning he was about 75 yards in front of me I never even got tripod opened up lol. Was wanting a coyote but only 2nd time I've had this gun out at night with thermal so I've had a bad itch. Video was brutal
Anyone tried the Federal amno? I read a article a while back about Federal using Alliant powder which makes sense and they would have first dibs. Jw if it's velocity is probably closer to true. Found some 155s terminal ascent says 3100 fps
Suppressed. I'm ruined by a suppressor I won't shoot any of my rifles without one. Hopefully making it to gunsmith one day this week to cut my 7 PRC to 18 for suppressed. The short 7mm-08 ruined me for a long gun hunting for in the woods or medium ranges.
I haven't threaded my 7 PRC yet but on my 16.5 inch 7mm-08 didn't bother me at all like 22 magnum. It's chronographed 2756 so be close to that. I know my 300 PRC with 26 inch barrel made me laugh it was so quiet no protection then either. I'll wear protection at range just because but hunting...
Believe it or not that's factory 139 SST Superformance. I'd like to know what it actually chronographed in a 24 inch barrel. Suppose to be 2950. An shot about 3/4 inch group at 100
I haven't measure the Chamber yet but what OAL you all running with the 162? Was just looking at Hornadys data an seems jammed way down in there compared to the rest of the bullets they have listed.
Currently 22 inch barrel chronographed some factory 180 eld 3 shot average 2814. I'm going to handload some 162 eldm Peterson Brass. Pretty sure I'm gonna do 18 inches soon as I get a chance to get to my gunsmith. Weighs 6.5lbs now I absolutely did not like shooting it without a suppressor they...
Yeah. I was just trying about any powder I had on hand except my RL26 don't want to sacrifice it. Lol the Staball powders are cheap an widely available it seems. It did better than the 6.5 Staball for me anyways. That match powder is about as fine as it gets.
