Hey All...Have read everywhere to use a Chronograph to stay out our trouble re MAX LOADS...ok...the loading books usually use 24-26" bbls...most loading data is based on these longer 22-24" bbls....
sooooooo...you work up to a max load re the books...of course your velocity is nowhere near what the book says ...maybe you bbl is most likely shorter than the "book"......soooooo...how do you know if you are at max pressure and or velocity for the set of components you are using....??????? I am referring to the AR type of hunting weapons...most have 16-18" bbls....yes...yours may have a 22 to 24" bbl....there are many bolt action rifles with 16 to 20" bbls..... same set of circumstances applies....using your chronograph will show you nowhere near what the "books" say.... soooooo.. what is the rule of thumb..(???) to "predict" when you are at max velocity or pressure even when you are using your chrono..??????
