Title: Re: 160 Gr Hornady Post by Kerz on Mar 21st, 2018 at 8:49am
Well, early results are in! Had to go to my all original 1898 to do the testing. Thus, not a new Criterion barrel so the chronograph numbers appear to show the difference. Anyway, Tuesday was a very nice day.
The original barreled gun indicates 2073 fps with 41.5 IMR4350, 160 gr Hornady FTX (30-30 bullet). The new barreled gun was approx. 150 fps second faster, but the shoulder was set back significantly further because of chambering issues. I need (should've) load more rounds to determine 200 yd performance. The following pic shows a three shot group at 100 yds. |
