Even though I've done a lot of reloading I've never had a chronograph so the only velocity "knowledge" I've had is what has been printed in the manuals.
Some years ago I did some reloading for friends who had .270s and the load they finally settled on turned out to be quite accurate in at least five different rifles (three of which were Remington 700 ADLs). That load was the 130gr. bullet on top of 56 grs. of IMR #4350 - which the book says should be at about 3100fps. I am really curious about that particular load and am wondering if any of you chrono owners have used it (or something close) and have actual chrono results you could share. ???
Ditto my All-Time Favorite .243 load - which is the 87gr. BTHP on top of 42.5grs. of IMR #4350. That one is at a nominal 3200fps according to the book.
Can anyone help me out with actual chrono results for either/both of those loads ???
Many thanks,
Shawnee
