Next was Sako A1 .222 with 24" barrel, 22.0gn BM1 and 40gn v-max. Results were 3108, 3023, 3023, 3018, 3113 fps. Nice and consistent but a bit lower than I was expecting. I was hoping for up around 3300. The highest charge I have loaded to previously is 22.2gn with no pressure signs so perhaps I can push them a bit more.
The third rifle was the Rem 700 .22-250 with 24" barrel, 37.5gn AR2208 and 50gn v-max. Results were 3762, 3738, 3765, 3762, 3765 fps. Here again the consistency was pleasing. This load is getting warm in my rifle so I don't think I will push it any further.
The last rifle was the Sako L461 .20-22 with 26" barrel, BM 1 and 32gn z-maxes. I tried a few charges but mostly only 2 rounds each (only had a few primed cases left). Results were:
23.2gn - 3811, 3808, 3857 fps
24.1gn - 3950, 3968 fps
24.4gn - 4026, 4075 fps
24.7gn - 4116, 4034 fps
Happy with those results! Will prep some more cases during the week and shoot some longer strings next weekend to get a better idea of the average velocity.
