Thread: F Class Finally

Greetings again all,
I was a bit below pa last Saturday and missed the 600 yard shoot. Anybody over the age of 70 will understand this. This gave me time to sort some loads for the 7mm-08. The 162 AMax projectiles were saved for the 7mm SAUM and some 145 grin Speer projectiles used. Some chronographing this morning showed a velocity of 2,800 fps with 41.0 grains of AR2206H, book max in the Hodgdon data. Velocity variations became less as the charge increased as expected and the final velocity was in line with book velocity once extra barrel length and the heavier Lapua cases are factored in. A loading session and a base zero is all that is needed to be ready for the next 300 yard shoot.
On another front I finally convinced myself that I really needed a better scope. A trip to Chateau Jeremy (our local Rivers to Ranges) resulted in a 6-24 mil mil Bushnell being ordered complete with rings and a 20 MoA base. The scope is Bushnell's entry level F class scope and will go on the Sendero 7mm SAUM. Should have it ready for the next 600 yard shoot.
Regards Grandpamac.
