Optimal Hunting bullet for 18in Grendels.

[mseric]

The same load from my 24in Barrel is 2820fps measured in two separate chronys and magno speed and a speed chrony F1 master. You'll notice all my velocities are higher than AA speeds. I'm getting 2650fps from factory Amax for my 24in barrel and 2560fps from my 18in barrel. I'm pretty sure the AR Stoner/Liberty barrels are fast maybe the 5R rifling? Not sure what Hodgdon velocities have to say about it when i'm shooting 30.2gr of Accurate 2520. I'm sure its a little hot and needs to come down its already under tha max loaded listed in the forums reload data page. Here's a thread i started on the subject.

Factory Ammo chronys at 2650fps, your handloads chrony at 2820fps, doen't that tell you something? Tells me that your handload is "Hot".

Carry on.
