[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 989, member: 34"] Boyd 940 yards is the shortest or starting point from my shooting building. 3000 yards is the longest. From another spot on my property the starting yardage is 700 yards and 2600 yards is the longest. The 25 fps rule stands as per barrel length 1" additional =25 FPS up to a point and sometimes 35 FPS. Sometimes you can go too long and there is a DRAG factor on the bullet which you will not get the 25 FPS per inch. When you start to reach the max amount of the powder to case ratio and effeciencey the velocity will drop off as per every grain of powder you put in the case. At that point your velocity starts to drop down per every grain of powder you put in the case. Before you reach that point take a REAL close look at your brass and feel how hard the bolt comes up. You should go back to the point where you stopped losing a lot of velocity per grain of powder. Lets say you were gaining 50 FPS per additional grain of powder. As you add another grain the velocity drops to 35 FPS per grain and another grain you only jumped 15 FPS---STOP and go back 2 grains. Had to run up town today and didn't have a chance to work on the Tomahawk. I will soon and will be able to give you more information as to what I am finding the velocity to be. My starting loads so far are 98 and 100 grs of WC872 with 190, 200, 220 and 240 gr bullets. Take care Darryl Cassel PS Just thought you would like to see this pic taken yesterday when my wife and I went for a little walk. It is taken at 2000 feet looking down into the little town of Driftwood. Our house is to the left up on that mountain. Not far from here is where longrange hunting began after WW2. You can see why. The deer have been working the tops as you can see in the pics also.
