    My final load was berger 140 hybrids, CCI standard primer, 52.8 grains of h4831sc. Bullet length just touching the lands. Didn't try them pushed into the lands cos I want to be able to unload without the risk of removing the head from the case. On my ladder test 2980 fps (same load) was a good...

    I see. Forgive my misunderstanding! I watched a few elk bow hunting videos on YouTube. Looks exciting!! I can see the appeal of getting so close. What kind of accuracy do you get with a bow at 50 yards? Are you allowed good arrow heads? Cross bladed types? On my ladder test at 500 I got...

    BrentM, Good point, my velocity did not increase thru 0.6 grain increase. Will check my barrel for unburnt powder next time I shoot.

    BrentM, 25? Wow, that's quite a freezer full of meat!! How does the bow deal with elk? They are HUGE things!! It amazes me that if we were to shoot it with a rifle then we would feel under gunned with anything less than a .30 calibre. Twang an arrow at it and I would expect it just to get...

    Grey fox, You're correct, brentM was getting 2900 fps with 53 gr h4831sc. I was always under the impression that you got 30-50 fps more per inch of barrel tho. Now I think that's way over optimistic. 10-15 fps seems more realistic. I am happy with reaching 2980 fps. Seems a popular accuracy...

    24"? You do well to get those velocities then!! I must have a slow barrel as I have 2980fps with 52.8 grains of h4832sc and its 30"!! In the UK we can just about get any components thru the post. Powder has to be sent via TNT courier ($30 a delivery) but you don't even have to prove u have a...

    BrentM, I have heard that about the savages aswell. Is urs a 30" tube aswell? I am using the target hybrids. Only chose them because they have the highest B.C. (0.618). Do you sort your bergers by bearing length? I have only just started on the journey of 1000 yard capable reloading so I have...

    Ryan55555 This is the first test with the new barrel so I tried the H4831sc cos its a standard setter. I am about to do seating depth tests next so will see if I find a great load, if not i will try ur advice on the H1000. I am happy at the velocity I have reached, but its just using more...

    Jneufy, I hope the 52.8gr load tests well. There was less than half an inch vertical spread at 500 yards so it shows promise!! Will test the loads on Sunday and keep you posted. Atb

    Hi, Shootnmathews, I half guessed this was happening, but didn't know if things were that simple. Internal ballistics are incredibly complex. Have loaded up some more rounds with different seating depth with 52.8grains. Will keep u posted. Jneufy, New unfired lapua cases, length trimmed, case...
