Lets Kick This One Around

Post by johno1 »

So as i said got the 19 hornet back together and want to work with 32gr bullet and CFE BLK. Hogdon loads as follows

17 Ackley hornet 30gr bullet CFE BLK
10.0gr = 2,726 fps @ 36,900 CUP 10.7gr = 2.917fps @ 45,400 CUP

22 K Hornet
14.4gr = 31,030 fps @ 26,3000 CUP 16.0 = 3,219 fps @ 30,300 CUP

19 Hornet 32gr bullet
AA 1680 13.5gr = 3,340 fps
4227 (2205) 12.0gr = 3,275 fps
Vhit N 120 13.3gr = 3,270 fps.

So lets work out a safe starting load for CFE BLK

You said the burn rate is between 1680 (fast) and N200 (slow) I would be picking a mid range load for N200 and work from there :)

Seeing as similar case but larger cal the 17hornet loads would be in the light side. Should be okay to start i reckon.

Fastest to slowest
#68 AA 1680
#69 CFE BLK
#70 Norma 200

Bugger all difference in burn rate.
My thoughts were along those lines Ryan I reckon 11.0 to 11.5gr would be a pretty safe start load.

Well this powder is bloody fine and its going to go through a powder measure just lovely.

Can't wait to see if Rob has it in the quickload update.

Just loaded one round of 7.62x39 with Tony's load of 30.0gr i'll see what presure I get in the CZ

No worries mate.

Re the powder I just loaded a 123gr in front of 30gr CFE BLK, no presure worries and seemed mild to the shoulder, came and ran the powder through the RCBS measure and did 20 rounds, I checked everyone of the scales and the dropped load was perfect, this is a nice powder
