[QUOTE="Swamplord, post: 1151554, member: 2460"] ***I'm stealing my own posts from the Wildcat Cartridges and Custom Rifles FaceBook group to share my recent tests with the Chinchaga .308 caliber 236 gr RBT ULD ST Hybrid bullets..... **** Got some shooting to do today but it's still dark out and a bit nippy, when the sun comes up it'll be a lot warmer (-2* F) Loaded up a "look fer" velocity/pressure test batch of the Chinchaga Hybrid 30 cal 236 gr bullets with Reloder 50 ..... This will be a maiden voyage for the 300 Long Range Hunter cartridge, rifle, bullets and powder .... my first time with all ....... Didn't get to go shootin till late in the day and ran into darkness and cold , Shooting at 100 yards with truck headlights lighting up targets ..... Temp dropped to -8* F when the sun went down , but ammo was in truck at all times at 70* F temp, 1 round was brought out at a time and fired immediately ..... barrel was allowed to cool between the 3 shot groups but not cleaned for entire string of 27 rounds fired ....... Forgot my binder with targets at home and had to make some up with what I had available, a jobsite clipboard with plain paper, green sharpie and a paint mixing stick for a straight edge and a roll of Gorilla tape to stick the targets up ..... bang, bang ! 300 Long Range Hunter 30" 10 tw 5R Bartlein Light Palma contour barrel the Burris XTRll 3-15X50 was absolutely phenomenal in low light and dark, way, way...... WAY better glass than my Vortex PST and even surpassed the Sightron Slll in clarity and ability to see shyte in fading light, did not have my Nightforce ATACR to compare to on this trip ...... BIG thank you to Mark Fox at Bad *** Gunworks for sending me the Burris XTRll for a hands on test .......y'all ain't gettin it back ! haha 236 gr RBT ULD ST Chinchaga Bullets and Reloder 50 powder 3.645" cartridge oal 2.846" to ogive .025" jump to rifling 94.0 gr 2812 fps 2923 2906 95.0 gr 2937 fps 2972 2948 96.0 gr 2949 fps 2965 3006 97.0 gr 2970 fps 3024 3012 98.0 gr 3030 fps forgot to put in my earplugs after warming up in truck, after the shot had to take a little break, **** ... was bringing the chrono into warm truck after every 3 shot group to keep it at room temp .... forgot to plug in magnetospeed for next shot and ****ed, blasted off the third .... 98.5 gr 3054 fps 3076 3074 99.0 gr 3084 fps 3103 3063 99.5 gr 3117 fps 3119 3109 100.0 gr 3144 fps 3154 3142 No signs of pressure on case heads, primers and bolt lift was "pinkie light" the super slow RL 50 can probably be loaded compressed in this case safely , at 100 gr I'm at about 95% case fill with no signs of pressure at all , will probably work up in 1/4 gr increments after 100 grs ...... I can see 3250 fps ! My sixteen yr old daughter shot the best group and is now ready to hunt ! She has a winter cow moose draw tag that we have been saving to test the Hornady ELD-X bullets on at close range (100 yards and less) but the bullets haven't showed up yet, tag expires on Christmas Day and we aren't waiting on the ELD-X bullets anymore , gonna plug the moose with these 236 gr Chinchaga Bullets ! Dale Janzen at Chinchaga Bullets is a master bullet smith ! these things were easy to make shoot and shot extremely well with all powder charges from 94 gr all the way up 100 gr , I have never encountered this before , can't wait to go 500, 800 and 1200 yards with them !
