.300RUM shooting 180's over 5k FPS

[Antlershed]

According to Jeremiah's chrono anyway.... 

[Jeremiah P]

Yeah, what the hell. Load is 96.4 grains retumbo 180 grain accubonds and apparently a pos chrony. My gun can't be that dirty can it? I cleaned it 8 shots ago, can a dirty gun screw it up that bad or do I need a new chrony? HELP PLEASE

Hey Brent your guns next in line for these super bullets

Im shooting 180's at 3250.  If they are really moving that fast your barrel wont last long!

That's fine. I'll be able to hold dead on out to about 700 yards..

In reality, they are probably going about that fast. The ones we loaded with 98 grains were just pushing 3300.

If you don't mind what is your load, cause I have something screwed hopefully just my chrony

Jeremiah,

Your chrony is whacked out.  I am shooting 100.2 grains of Retumbo and I am getting 3460fps.  A damn good group might I add.

See this thread about the 300 Rum sharing of data.

I FREAKIN' TOLD YOU GUYS... CHRONOGRAPHS CANNOT BE TRUSTED!

Now... just shoot the drop... and then go plug the numbers into a ballistics program... it'll get you close. I'd rather know the actuall drops out to 800... than know the exact velocity and trust a program (or a cooked-up BDC turret) to give me my drop data!

When you guys get it all figured out... we'll go out and do some long range bombing... maybe we could set-up a hunt-wa long range shoot... see who's who and what's what on steel in the hills out to 1k or so.

[JoshT]

Hell... I'd miss by a mile if I could get rid of that thing!

Seriously though... I learn a lot when I go LR shooting with different guys. Everyone has a little different method of reading wind and angles and such... always a good time.
