Never Say Never

Never Say Never

I refuse to yield

 

[joe16]

Do I see a little smoke coming from the side of those barrels?

Not on purpose

 

[ButterBean]

let me demo. My 17Cal shoots 5060FPS.

My 22 is running 5100 and some change

 

[gltaylor]

Is there any accuracy at those speeds???
And barrel life???
Just asking for a friend.

Yep! Sure is! I've got several rifles that do 4k+. My minimum acceptable accuracy is 0.5" @ 100.
3 of those rifles have between 450 and 650 rds down the tube. Fire cracking is visible in the throat on 2. Still shooting just fine! (Why did I say that??? Probably just jinxed myself)

That's beyond my imagination!

That's because you're stuck on the first floor of the library. You got to get out of there, like farleg says "you got to clear your heads". Walk up the steps, we think outside the box up here

You could always try the Tubb TMS abrasive bullets to smooth some of that fire cracking.

Why, he said It’s Still Shooting, and I can assure GL is well aware of what he’s doing and what to do, folks just like making more problems for themselves these days than I’ve ever seen

 

[gltaylor]

I've done Tubbs bullets on a Very Rough (from factory) 25-06 barrel I had years ago. It worked ok.
Now, when accuracy deterioriates, I screw on another barrel. I have a spare on the bench already for my most favorite rifle. I'm a good boy scout?

I thought about a magentospeed, but I'd want it mounted somewhere other than the barrel. Which they make. iirc. However, being able to see a measured BC at a given altitude really gets my nerd side going. It just seems this FX radar chrony is a lot more user friendly than the Labradar. Side note, waiting for a "range cold" for setup/tear down gets old fast. One day it won't be an issue, when I get a couple dozen acres.

Check this out looks like an inexpensive alternative ( oops thought I had pasted this link )

5280 feet with my 28 Nosler. 4200 feet with my 30-06 (didn't make it either one in a second though)

I broke down and bought one of these new chronographs today. I'll give y'all a report next week.

Sir, do you have a report?

 

[Mountainman]

Sir, do you have a report?

Yessir, it's in the chronograph thread right under this one I believe. I need to add to it since I read all the instructions. I like it very much so far.
