Another reason I prove what I'm thinking when shooting over a chronograph my most recent load I developed I got more speed with a quarter grain less powder see what I mean running more efficient less fuel but more speed and my ES was 8
I have a 300 PRC with a 22'' Proof barrel with a Radial Break, I am using 230gr Hornady A-Tips for development , The FPS are all over the place. I have had the unit 6'' from end of the barrel to back to the scope. The speeds could be 2790 2795 2830 2815- the next round might be 2775 2780 2785 2810, Then I ran some 225gr Hornady Match NEW in box to see if Factory is better and got a 2677 2733 2709. When I am reloading ,I have 3 different scales to make dam sure the powder is the same. On the factory Ammo being MATCH AMMO I would think speeds would be closer. Where is the Problem ?
It usually makes for consistent results, but not necessarily. I think efficiency in burn is what 338 Dude is referring to.But if were the same amount of powder, would it be a consistent speed ?
