 Someome asked me to post the highest velocity we have ever gotten. It was in a 22-243 Middlestead - data can be fond on our Reloading Pages. | ||

Only 9 more fps to break 5300 fps! I'm assuming the real light bullets drain velocity fast, but there couldn't be much drop at all out to 300. Love shooting precision and long range. Big bores too!

 Relative question!!  does anyone know if there are Teflon(TFE Not FEP) Jacketd rifle bullets? Not coated or sabots, but at least a jacket of .010" thick.  rogerOld age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age!

If I recall correctly, some where in my newest version Nosler reloading manual, Nosler recounts a request from the US Army to develop an exparamental .30 cal sniper round using I think the 30/378 and very light bullets. Again if I recall correctly, Nosler acheived velocities over 6,000 FPS. The Army never bit. | |||

Yep, nice speed but the extreme spread and standard deviations are huge!  Did the third and fifth bullets make it over the chrono in one piece?

What kind of accuracy do you get out of that 22-243? As far as Velocity, Wow!  | |||

.224 diameter 30 grain bullet at 5,291 fps equals: 1,865 ft-lbs of energy Taylor KO value of 5 Not much penetration but it's gonna leave a mark. ______________________________ "Truth is the daughter of time." Francis Bacon | |||

If I remember the story correctly, it was a 30/378 Weatherby rifle shooting very light alloy bullets at some army testing site. I don't remember Nosler being involved but the velocity was over 6,000 fps. | |||
