    Trying to get rifle velocities out of a pistol...

    My 'Smith called me the other day and said he had something I had to see. He said he has an XP 100 in 260Rem that someone tried to get rifle velocity out of. Ya, that pegged my interest so I headed to his shop. I dont know the particulars of the load, but the owner mentioned something to the...

    338 Lapua Velocities

    How hard do u guys run yours, reason is can the rem700 run just as hard as some of the larger actions. I am doing around 3100 to 3150 from my 250 grns and i am running 225s at around 3300 from 26 inch bbls with 10 twist.

    Range Report Bad Chronograph readings or erratic velocities

    Looking for some advice… I went out early this morning to zero my rifle w/ some new handloads. * Conditions first thing this AM were: 81F, 47% humidity, Density alt 7255, barometer 25.33. * My first string of velocities were: 2961, 2972, 2964, 2966, 2969 (with avg velocity of 2966 & std of...

    Max velocities with Lapua Scenar 6mm 105gr?

    I'm thinking of loading up some 6mm Lapua Scenar 105 grain bullets for 243 Win and am wondering what sort of max velocities you've been seeing on your loads? With DTAC 115gr being somewhat scarce, the 105gr Scenar looks like an interesting fallback.

    What velocities are possible in an M1A?

    Been studying the posts here for a few weeks and have found an underlying opinion that .308 bolt guns can run loads at higher pressures than semi-autos. I know that the 22-inch barrel won't give speeds like the 24, 26, and even 30-inch barrels do...but what speeds should be attainable with an...

    Range Report Pressure Signs at *expected* or lower velocities?

    Well, I'm really sick of load development now, but maybe that has a little to do with trying to do OCW groups with fuzzy mirage today. I'm getting pretty low in the velocities from a 22-inch M1A with three powders now, and if it weren't for the primers I'd just say fooey, Federal brass is just...

    Do these velocities sound right??

    I reload alot but just started for my .223 I shot 24 grains of R-15 in LC case with 77 grn SMK's through a Noveske barreled upper (16 inch upper) and the numbers seem very low. The averged right around 2505 fps. I also tried 24 grns. of IMR 4895 and got the same #'s. The up side is booth...
