Well I was able to go through 4 different loads this morning before the weather got nasty again. For those who might be interested, here are the results: The air temp was a brisk +35 degrees and it was overcast and sort of breezy for the moment. I was using 50-90 Sharps cases that were reformed to 45-75 and CCI 200 primers.
Load #1 was with 75grains of Fg GOEX and the Buf Arms 350 grain bullet with SPG lube. In fact, all 4 loads were with this bullet and the CCI primer. The average velocity was 1495.5 fps. The SD was 24.8 fps and the CV was 1.7%
Load #2 was with 56.0 grains of Pyrodex CTG. The average velocity was 1370.0 fps. The SD was 9.3 fps and the CV was 0.7%
Load #3 was with 72.0 grains of FFg Goex. The average velocity was 1489.9 fps. The SD was 51.4 fps and the CV was 3.7%.
Load #4 was with 26.0 grains of 4759. the average velocity was 1400.0 fps. The SD was 51.4 fps and the CV was 3.7%.
I still have 4 more test loads to try. I already have a couple of loads that I am comfortable with but I still like to mess around and try different recipies out. Besides, I enjoy playing with that big toy. When I am really, really comfortable with one particular load, I will go get some venison this coming fall. i still have one test load with Swiss #1.5 to try. From what you all have been saying, that is a good BP to try out.
The Chronograph that I use is a PACT Professional series. The screens were set at 6 feet from the muzzle and all the shots were fired at 50 yards. None were all that great but the one with the 4759 was the best.
