Hi i am for the first time in my reloading career looking at how my projectiles perform using a chrono and what I am finding is not what I expected. It seems that the performance of the projectiles are several hundred fps than what is listed on the Accurate LT-32 loading data - I know there are many factors that could attribute to this, but knowing what the projectile does at almost max loads do you ever push the max to reach fps? I have never done this (cause I've never had a chrono) but curious if you ever formulate your own recipe based upon how the gun (in this case rifle) shoots.
Ruger Precision Rifle 308
All are using CCI primers and Hornady brass and Hornady projectiles.
Example
Lower End:
1 (168 grn HPBT) 33.7 grains of LT-32 me -> 2083 - Accurate LoadData -> 2349 (at 33.7)
2 (168 grn HPBT) 33.7 grains of LT-32 me -> 2183 - Accurate LoadData -> 2349 (at 33.7)
Upper End:
1 (168 grn HPBT) 37.3 grains of LT-32 me -> 2388 - Accurate LoadData -> 2555 (at 37.5)
2 (168 grn HPBT) 37.3 grains of LT-32 me -> 2372 - Accurate LoadData -> 2555 (at 37.5)
Thanks.
