What velocitys are you guys getting with your 20" barrels I put some loads through a chrony over the weekend and this is what i got Winchester factory 200 grain silver tips-- 2366 fps Remington 200 grain PSPCL using IMR 3031 45.0-- 2400 fps Hornady 250 grain RN using IMR3031 42.0--2100 fps While both the 200 and 250 grain bullets shot great i get my tightest groups with the 250 so i am sticking with this load . Using this for deer bear and moose to 100 yard max with under 50 the norm, should i be happy with the 2100 fps or are you guys getting well above that? | ||

...Re10x will do a 200 gr bullet 2500+ (I've used both Rem PSP and Hornady), and a 225 (my fav is the Sierra GK) 2450 +/- in my 20" barrel BLR. No compressed loads, low SD/ES. You can use these loads to 250+ yards with practice...I don't like recoil so I don't like 250's...use a 12 ga slug or a bow inside 50 yds....less recoil with the bow, same result and won't wake the neighbors. | |||

I am using 47.0 grains of 3031 and magnum primers in my BLR and 200 grain bullets. The magnum primers seem to reduce the primer cratering in this rifle. I haven't seen real pressure signs but the cratering bothers me. My 250 grain bullets are pushed by Winchester 748 and though I have no chrono I figure we are getting similar velocities. Iamhappywith these sppeds for what I am doing. Leftists are intellectually vacant, but there is no greater pleasure than tormenting the irrational. | |||
