Re15 175smk 2540 fps?

[Outlaw45]

This is the speed I'm getting out of my GAP 308. 2540 fps with a load of 43.0gr of Reloader15 with a 175 smk. I figured it would be a little faster. I used the Applied Ballistics App to true my ballistics at 800 yards. It said I needed 27 MOA which makes my velocity 2540 fps.

Sounds about right...I was around 2520 with 43.0gr Varget. Varget and RE-15 are vary similar...

I would be interested to hear if 27 MOA is accurate, I would've guessed it'd be a touch over 30 MOA.

That sounds right. I use 43.5 in LC LR brass for my load,does very well for me.

24" Bartlien. At 100yds it shot about 1/2-3/4". I'll test it some more. I just thought it would be closer to 2600-2650.

43.5-44.0 should get you there
