Have you run any of the 140g slug loads over a Chrono??

I have been thinking about a 7mm-08 featherweight...

Just curious about the speed from a 22 in tube..


Jim,

Just saw your posting.. Sorry about the delay getting back to you.
I'm not using a Chrony, although I have one. But, whatever 45 grains of H-414, and Federal 210 primers with the 140 grain Partition delivers for velocity, it what it is.
The other load that shoots well is the 100 grain Sierra HP, and 42.0 grains of Varget, along with the Fed 210's. Three shots into 1/2" groups for both loads, at 100 yards.


Take care,

Don


Thanks for the reply..

Most of my load developement is done by the "H.I.T"(holes in the target) method, too.LOL

Accuracy is my first priority as well. All the speed in the world don't mean a thing if it is not put in the right place..
