ozhunterQuestion for those who use NFCP bullets and DR's
A question for those of you who load North Fork "Cup Point" bullets for your Double rifles.
How many grains on average do you need to down load to produce similar velocity's as your standard loads?

tetonkaDepending on caliber, North Fork says about 1 1/2 grains except in the 450/400 NE 3 in. where
I have found no difference or only a slight difference of 1/2 grain due to the fact that the new NF 400gr soft points are bore riders as are the 400 gr Cup Point solids. (Also depending on LOT of powder) Virtually no difference in load for the same velocity. I cannot speak to other calibers, but you should have no trouble with the 450/400 NE. 3 in.
Good Shooting

N E 450 No2In my 450 No2 I went UP one grain of RL 15 from my 480/500gr bullet loads, with the North Fork 450grain Solids and Cup Points to get the same point of impact at 100 yards.

ROSCOEMinus 2 has worked in the 450, 470, & 500 caliber doubles. Minus 1 worked in the 9.3X74r.

We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, Which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that didn't read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a President, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!!

ozhunterThanks guys, It looks like minus two grains is a good starting point.
Will, that's good advice about the Chrono as I have appreciated mine for many years now. BUT at the cost of these bullets, I'd prefer a basic starting point.
