What sort of ballistics are you getting?


got out with the chronograph this afternoon..

20 grains of AA 1680 with a Win Small Rifle primer in Remington Brass, with a 32 grain V Max..

results were:

1. 3666 fps
2. 3694 fps
3. 3679 fps
4. 3672 fps

brass expansion, was minimal.. neck sized it and it rechambered just fine...

maybe someone with Quick Load can do a pressure forecast for us..

outside temp was about 65 degrees and humid, and a thunderstorm was hot on the way... thundering and lighting in the distance... out on Forest Service land on a 4,000 mountain top...
