Laffin'!



Sucking a little hind tit at .463 BC @ 3,000+ aint the horrible'ist place to be for a short knocker, but I can take a hint..



A Vanilla SAAMI 243Win of modest barrel length,will push a .547BC at 3000fps. Was flingin' 'em at 3200fps in a S/A,this afternoon too.

My lowly 7-08AI scoots a .625BC at 2825fps. Was shooting 'em at 3125fps this afternoon,ala another S/A too.

Flunged quite a few .435BC's at 3450fps this afternoon.

A 270 is farrrrrrrrrr from being a sound decision to leave a S/A.



But more powder and recoil to get 260'ish results just makes more sense....... grin
