BOLT ACTION LOAD ONLY
Thread revival time.
I am off to Bisley on Thursday 18/04/13. It's the first time I have been able to shoot the Grendel over 100y, so taking her out to 600m and 1000m will be new ground for her. I chronoed the 28gr VV N133, 123 smk load. Which shoots one of the groups above.
I have the following results the temp is 8 oC and a whole 50 feet above sea level.
1, 2582
2, 2584
3, 2610
4, 2634
5, 2609
6, 2627
7, 2593
8, 2589
9, 2594
10, 2608
11, 2590
12, 2593
13, 2593
14, 2599
15, 2598
16, 2613
It averages 2601 fps. I was hoping for the bullet to be supersonic at 1000m and I am sure it still will be. I am already getting flack from the people I am going with saying it's not going to be enough gun to get there... We will see.
I am taking my AR as well just to see.
So why 16 rounds? Well it's all I had left over from the last batch I made. Time to load some more.
