Thanks LRRPF52. The overwhelming majority of my shooting is less than 500 ft ASL with my range being less than 200 ft ASL. I have been using the Strelok app on my phone and havent had much faith in it. One of the biggest unknown factors is my muzzle velocity. I was going to get it chrono'ed today but didn't get around to it. Considering I am about to switch from factory to hand loads I haven't placed that much of a priority on it just yet.
If it weren't for the cost of ammo I sure would like to just keep shooting factory. I don't know how to complain about those results, and will be trying to make a load my gun likes as much as the factory loads. I guess thats a good problem to have though!
Any advice on expected muzzle velocities would be greatly appreciated. Since the factory hornady did so well in my rifle do you have any advice on hand loads? Or would the usual recomendation of IMR 8208 and cci 450 still be the best starting point?
Thanks in advance!
