.358 Winchester Chrono results.. - 06/15/12
Firearms44 and I did some .35 shooting today. He brought a custom Remington Model Seven with 20" stainless barrel and I brought a Ruger Frontier with a 16.5" barrel. Chronoed the old Winchester 200 grain Silvertip and the new Hornady 200 Spire Point...
Hornady 200:
16.5"... 2352/2357
20"......2361/2449/2445
Winchester 200:
16.5".....2360/2401
20".......2464/2281/2373
We were trying to conserve ammo and just wanted to shoot enough to get a ballpark area what the velocity was since it will shoot differently from different rifles anyway...
From a 22" barrel the Hornady load should be doing about 2525 fps....I'm going guess the Winchester will be about the same.
In checking my reloading data for the Frontier:
51 grains of 748 w/220 Speer FP......2210 @ 80* (2170 @ 50*)
Killed a large doe with this load so even though it is slow it got the job done one could "eat right up to the hole" on both sides.....
