I'd like to verify my Temp/MV data and get some feedback on my powder choice.
300WSM
24" Tikka #2 barrel 1-10
Hornady brass
Federal match primers
RL19 @67±0.02gr
175gr SMK @2.900" COAL 0.015 jump (magazine limited until recently)
Right now I'm seeing around 3.7FPS/°C or 2.06FPS/°F with RL17. This seems like a lot!
I'm looking at the H4350 more and more over time.
Numbers shown are MAX, AVG, MIN on a 5rd string at each temperature. Ammo temperature was recorded in the magazine, heat soak was limited to 1-2 seconds in the chamber.
