Blue Dot Range Report: 243 Winchester Bullet: 75 grain Hornady Hollow Point Case: Remington, Not new Primer: Large Rifle OAL: 69.35mm Max Capacity: 38 grains of Blue Dot 40%: 15.2 grains 60%: 22.8 grains Tested: 17 to 23 grains Rifle Used: Ruger 77 Mk 2, 22 inch stainless steel factory barrel, Sporter Weight. Velocity Results: 17 grains: 2418 fps 18 grains: 2502 fps 19 grains: 2585 fps 20 grains: 2707 fps 21 grains: 2805 fps 22 grains: 2887 fps 23 grains: 2962 fps Notes: 1. Recoil and noise with the 17 grain load was very pleasant. 2. Noticable increase of noise and recoil with 18 grains compared with 17 grains. 3. All cases extracted very easily. 4. 23 grain load was fine, and represented the 60 % mark, which I standardly treat as maximum. People can feel free to work up from there, but I recommend stopping at 60% in Blue Dot loads. | ||

David, I am starting to save these in a Word document and filing them on the harddrive. I am going to compile them into some sort of book, or booklet form. For those that have a desire for a particular load or caliber, if I have it on file, if they email me, I will just email them that particular requested info. Thanks for the kind words. Cheers and Good shooting seafire | |||
