Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Chronograph

Just fer schitz n' giggles.



I employ a Shooting Chrony for load development. I'm on my third unit. Are they the best? Don't know and don't care. Are they 100% accurate, once again, don't know and don't care. I set mine up about 10' from the muzzle and let her rip.

In each of the following groups, no adjustment was made for windage or elevation. I was shooting for groups during load development.






That standard deviation will never happen again, but what the hey!

BTW, the 46 gr. RL-15 is my go to load for the 308 Win.








I will load different powders and different load densities of each powder.

I've even been anal enough to try six or seven different primers with one load.




I went with the CCI-400's.

I use the CCI-400's in most of my 17-22 caliber loads.

I will shoot everything in one session, typically allowing for the barrel to cool a bit.

From this, I am able to decide what load I want to employ to kill critters.

I will trade accuracy for velocity 11 times out of 10 as I'm a short range meat hunter.

and of course, YMMV

ya!

PS: The 308 Win was a Cooper M22 Varmint Extreme. The 223, was a lefty Cooper Varmint Extreme.
