Velocity
I spoke to matt at LRP solutions about a 220swift ackley improved , matt ordered a reamer and I sent the print off to whidden gunworks and had a full lenght bushing die made to suit the chamber .i did some load development today which consisted of very little other than shoot it through the chrony until I got the desired velocity then shoot it at 2-3 and 400 yds , velocity was 4600 with a 40 ballistic tip , fair dinkum .6 inch 5 shot group at 300 yds , 1 group don't tell me every thing other than dont waste my time burning the barrel out trying to prove any points , zero at 300 was 1.5 high at 200 3iches low at 400 . Now this is real world in the paddock with a lieca 1600 range finder not the ballistic chart in a book . To say I'm impressed is an under statement ,
heading out tonight to give some foxes a hurry up

Re: Velocity
C'mon Marcus get real. If it was a 20 220 it would have been so much betterer . And there is a lab and ballistic calculator somewhere to prove it.
Very nice Mark

Re: Velocity
I should also mention I found that load a little warm so I've backed it off today to 4400 , still a stinging load and bugger all in it over 400 yds with same zero as the hotter load , at 4400 they won't give me any problems
