Bob,
I read the thread. The load you fired was 112gr. of Reloader 15. The loads I
fired was 115gr. @ 1800-1835fps. I will be going to 118gr next session. 700
NE statement of Butch regulating at 125gr. of Reloader 15 is not quite
accurate. I spoke with Butch and he told me the gun should regulate at
120-125gr. The FPS at 120gr should be around 2000fps. Like I said the posted
spec's on this load are 750gr bullet @ 2050fps. This was rarely achieved
with Kynoch factory ammo as it was a proofed round with 30"barrels. My
barrels are 24" so losing a 100 or so fps is pretty standard.
Bob

Ahh .. I see .. was just wondering .. sounded like a darn small bullet for a .700
Although ? i am making Ed some 850's up in .700
diameter .. that may .. be a good weight..
Or even a pure lead no jacket gas checked one ?
