Hello boyz/galz
Top of the mornin
Ok, I have a question and I know the THR peeps can answer it.
I have 2 rifles and my intention is to use them for 1000 yrd. shoots.
One is a Steyr 300M Standard CISM chambered in 7.5x55 Swiss with a 22 in. barrel.
The second is a Gruning custom build on a Remmy 700 action, chambered in 30.06 with a 26 in. barrel.
For both I use 168 gr. Nosler or Sierra match bullets.
The Steyr load is 48gr. of Reloder 15. It generates 2650 fps MV.
The Gruning load is 56gr. of Reloder 19. It generates 2650 fps MV.
Both are with CCI BR primers
The load for the Steyr is ideal for that setup and requires nothing.
My goal is to be able to utilize the extra 4 in. of barrel length on the Gruning to generate 150 fps more MV. At 56gr. of Reloder 19 the case (Winchester) is getting pretty full. Going to max load of 57 gr. of Reloder 19 just about fills the case and generates only about 50 fps more MV.
So now my question: Should I go to a faster or slower burning powder?
