77gr - 3360fps
78gr - 3409fps
79gr - 3449fps
80gr - 3994fps (???)
The ladder was significantly longer than expected and no pressure signs were exhibited during this test.
It is likely the last reading was erroneous due to setting of the sun. (Oehler model 33 chrono)
100% case fill at 80gr. No indications of pressure.
Loaded up 79gr and 80gr to shoot for groups.
Could we see 3500fps from a 22"bbl?? (Might have to try the 1/3 JoeCrimp
)
