Seafire my chrono gave me a bum wrap on that load,but from the velocity of the next one I'm going to say 2550ish and the group size was under 1 inch at 100 yds. This weekend I'll shoot it again and have better info.

GM on the GTE!!


I was looking that up in one or two of my load manuals..

I was wondering in a modern rifle, if that could be improved upon with the pressure according to the load manual is only about 44 to 45,000 CUP.

I found in a 30/06, using H 4831 SC, one could actually up the velocity potential a good bit with 180 to 200 and 220 gr bullets...

I run 3031 out of an older Hornady Manual, and they claim I should get 2450 fps, but my 3 rifles are exceeding that by a good bit, and it is the most accurate powder in both of the Rugers...with 175 grain SP and RN Hornadys...
