Thread: developing new load for the roar

was hoping for 2800 but that might be wishful thinking with 22" tube and fat peterson brass probably doesnt help. there seamed to be a bit of a node at 2675 fps which when put into phone gives me more oomph than i have had with the 120 BTs out at 4-500 yrds so might be a goer, just a bit closer to pressure than i like to be. tempted to load up a few with R16 to see what that gives me.

If you have an accurate load already just use it. You have near enough factory load velocity combined with a premium bullet. A 110 gr standard AB in 25 call going 3000 fps will fully penetrate a stag at 250 mtrs so your heavier but slightly slow pill will do the same I am sure
