Anyone shoot over a chronograph?
« on: November 26, 2008, 07:10:34 AM »
I tried it yesterday but couldn’t get a reading.  Don’t know if it was the clouds or muzzle blast or what.  I'd really like to know how fast our muzzies are pushing these 300 plus grain bullets.

Dad and I did it several years ago. 

If I remember right, our Thompson Centers were pushing 295 gr bullets downrange with 100gr. of black powder at about 1300 fps. 
If you don't stand behind the troops, please feel free to stand in front of us.

That sounds about right.  I believe I was pushing 295 PB's at 1500fps with 100grs or Pryodex "P" powder.  The P(pistol) powder is faster.  Accuracy did drop a bit so i went back to the RS select.  Would like to see what I'm getting with 777.
