How fast are you guys pushing the 175 grain pills. I chrono my 175 grain load yesterday and it was around 2800 ft/s. Is there aan ideal range we want to be for a certain bullet weight?
Muzzle velocity for 175 grain....1000 yards

Re: Muzzle velocity for 175 grain....1000 yards
Are you shooting the 175s out of a 300 win mag or .308? 2800 is moving. I had some 175s in lapua over 43g of RL 15 and I think 2750 was the fastest I calculated them at. That was just truing my dope after hitting steel from 100-1000 yards. IRRC It was out of a 24 inch shillen barrel.

sorry, this was a 308 out of a 26" rock creek with a suppressor.

Well, I'm not a huge reloader, but I would think that's pretty good speed. I shot well out to 1000 yards w/ the 175s over the RL15.
Hit a can of spray paint at 1010 yards with them.

Re: Muzzle velocity for 175 grain....1000 yards
Thats Great speed for them
Im at 2725, no problems getting out to 1000-1200yds
My load is very light
43g varget
178 amax
lapua brass
28" krieger barrel

Re: Muzzle velocity for 175 grain....1000 yards
My load just chrono around 2,648 fps with 6.9 SD
Lapua Brass
CCI BR-2
43.0 Grains of Varget
COAL = 2.810"
.30 Berger 175 Grains LRBT
LB Tactical Recon 1:10tw" 24" Bull Barrel
I had try to add speed but the result was not accuracy as this load. When I add more powder, the SD & ES also increasing. So, just end up with this node.

hows the speed compared to the 168 i know its not to far behind

Re: Muzzle velocity for 175 grain....1000 yards
I am using 44.2 grains of varget with LC LR brass and Wolf large rifle primers. COAL was around 2.800. The ES was I think in the 30's. I have to go back and look at the data again.

Normally put 168 SMK faster than 175 SMK around 50 fps.
Based on Factory Ammo like Federal Gold Medal
168 = 2,650 fps.
175 = 2,600 fps.

Re: Muzzle velocity for 175 grain....1000 yards
Several 308's here and I am between 2550 up to 2690 with the 175smk.

Re: Muzzle velocity for 175 grain....1000 yards
1k should be a breeze with those speeds. I shoot 175 smks with 44.5 varget and am at 2680 fps out of a GAP Crusader. If I remember correctly I think dope was 33.3 moa.

Re: Muzzle velocity for 175 grain....1000 yards
anyone pushing some 175's faster than that with a 30"+ barrel? I am looking to build a rifle that will get 2900+ out of a 308 with 175's. Barrel length is not a problem for me and in fact 33" is what I was thinking.
