Brand new to reloading, I'm told I jumped right into the deep end with the Absolute Hammers.... Worked up a ladder and this is the best I could do before seeing pressure signs. I borrowed a chronograph to check out my loads, but the chronograph didn't work at the range. Checked drops out to 480yards, hoping someone can tell me if my velocity numbers are close. Primarily concerned with fps numbers at range and cut off for proper bullet performance.
1:10 twist 18" barrel
COAL 2.810
Lapua brass
CCI 200
Ram Shot Tac (grains intentionally blank)
151 Absolute Hammer estimated G7-bc= 0.185
6500 ft of elevation, 24% hum
400 yards 22.5" drop
480 yards 36" drop
Plugged what I had into ShootersCalculator and it looks like I'm getting about 3150fps out the door.
