Chronograph-ed a few loads today with the Berger Hybrids and 2208
32.4 = 2927
32.6 = 2942
However this isn't that much faster than our 6br load with 107 smk's and 30.1 of 2208, we are getting around 2890. I though with 2942 are we really taking advantage of the extra "power" of the BRX ?
Today I tried 32.9 & 33.1 yielding 2980 & 3000, this is probably more the velocity I would have expected from this cartridge, accuracy with the 33.1 was a little better in vertical than the 32.6 loads I have tested. There certainly wasn't any sign's of pressure. What sort of velocity are others who are shooting the BRX obtaining ? I have read that the BRX's best accuracy is around the 3020 to 3080 fps though I do realise all rifles are different.
Thanks
