Since I haven't been able to get any magnum primers and reload 404j ammo, I ordered a couple of boxes from Midway. Has anyone crono'ed This ammo or tried it? | ||

Terry, I shot 10 rounds last weekend. No chrono used and no scope on the rifle. Just doing barrel break-in. All I can really tell you is that it all goes "bang" and I was getting minute of backstop with a 1" double ghost ring. The box says they are 2300 fps. kh | |||

You want to send me three rounds I'll run it through my very accurate M70 & give you some data?  LIFE IS NOT A SPECTATOR'S SPORT! | |||

I'm in the same boat, but I bought just one box of solids. May go "chrono" them on some pigs. If they feel like a 416, then the box is right on with 2,300 fps. Didn't get the kynoch cause 1950, fps sounded a bit girly. I'm looking for 2,200 "Sometimes nothing can be a pretty cool hand." 470 Heym; 9.3x74r Chapuis, Heym 450/400 on it's way | |||

I don't think you'll find any "girlies" at 2300 with the 404 Jeffery! Rusty We Band of Brothers! DRSS, NRA & SCI Life Member "I am rejoiced at my fate.

I just got a box from Midway. I won't be able to chrono them until next week, but I'll post the data when I do. | |||

I don,t have enough faith in ammo companies to go to the range with something new and not check it ............. It,s pretty hard to for the shoulder to tell how fast the bullet is going  .If it can,t be grown , its gotta be mined .... | |||
