Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 4,000 plus fps!!????

Pretty interesting fps in this video

Got some factory .22-250 that claims 4,000 fps

204R does tha easy.

Used to shoot 55gr BT’s in the 243 4000 fps

Chrono'd my 22-250 with 40 grain BTs at 4180 and my 17 Remington used to clock around 4020 on a regular basis with 25 grain Hornady HPs....

I'm guessing that a steady diet of 4000 fps would burn up a barrel pretty quickly.

41 grains of H380 behind a 40gr Ballistic Tip gave 4002-4012 fps out of my 22-250.

Not impressed.

I should load up some 20 gr, bullets in my 17/204 just to see how fast they would fly, for [bleep] and giggles. 30 gr. run over 4000 fps all day long.

28 grains of RL 7 out of a 223, will give your 4000 fps, with a 40 grain Ballistic Tip, and a little faster with a 35 grain BT/ Lead Free bullet. The brass doesn't seem to notice or care...

out of a bolt action at least.

.20 VarTarg does it easily too. Crows are compressed.

The second time I've seen a vid that featured the FX chrono. I seems to never miss a shot. A thousand bucks, but figure the price will lower some later.

Thinking I gave about $250 for my first chrono, likely $500 in 2023 dollars & I'd hate to add up the number of shots I fired over it that it didn't read.

Yawn. What's old becomes new again.

The year 1935-220 Swift @4100fps. A 48gr bullet on top of non-canister IMR3031 says Phil Sharpe.

Sabots- see Remington Accelerator- 30-30 55gr. SP @3,400 fps-308 Win 55gr SP @3,770 fps-30-06 55gr SP @4,080 fps. Accuracy was really questionable with these. Maybe the sound of a bullet whizzing by scares groundhogs to death at 200 yds.

When did Labradar start to read over 4000fps? Thinking the video is a plug for the new $1000 device. My 35 year old Oehler works just fine. It misses very few shots if I use common sense in its set-up. Unsure of its top end. It read 4400fps last year with 40s out of a 22-250 Ackley. I wonder what even lighter bullets will do?

The Thermos killing dork in the video sounds like he has a giggler pin up his ass.

Easily. Makes fur and feathers explode.

With a >243 and lite bullets I see no need for a 22-250, gave both of mine away. Rio7

What a maroon.

Backfire is a drama queen

Son of the Gael, would you care to clarify your statement,and prove me wrong. Rio7

My 1977 model 77 Ruger accounted for a few Whtetails run-in 55 go's at 4000 fps. Did not have to trail a single one.

Very much so.
