Forgot the chrono for this one. I'm thinking 2960fps.

Gonna try 42.8 and see if the group keeps shrinking. No pressure signs yet.

Nice, mine shot little bug holes also. Was using varget. But low on the stuff. Shooting just under 3200 ,so stopped load development and went hunting. We're still knocking off does on this property, I'm happy to do my part. All my friends and family are reaping the rewards of venison.

Man, that's smoking velocity. I'm expecting around 3100fps in 100 F. TX temps.

I got my two doe for the wife and I to eat in 2022. Big juicy ones 170lb on hoof.
 
Temp and Ele? COAL?
~60 degrees F, ~500 ft. elevation, I only record CBTO 2.327" (.020" Jump).
CBTO = Cartridge Base to Ogive

The Winchester brass primer pockets are wearing out after several years of use so now I'm switching to Peterson Brass.
Peterson brass has much less capacity ~3 grains, so I will be trying out CFE223 or H4895 next.

What is the Rifle info ?
I picked up two new Remington 7mm/08 barrels to work on for next fall Wt. They will be Spring projects so far . I see alot of hammer info popping up lately. I was at there shop when I lived in Montana. He is a great guy .

Both barrels I picked up are 24" one fluted and a standard one . The Wife wants the fluted one ! Guess I get the other one .
I also got a 270 wsm fluted barrel in the sale ! But I can do a different thread for that one .
