aplthird Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I am loading 155 grain lead RNSWC over longshot. my starting charge was 8.5 grains and I stopped at 9.0 grains My chrono for three shots were 1341, 1395 and 1326 avg was 1354 at 9.00 grains when I run GRT it says this is an over pressure above 35k. I see no evidence of primer flow etc. I also use GRT for 357SIG and 45 acp no issue with those loads. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodgdon load data website shows a Longshot load of 9.5grs at 36,300 PSI and velocity of 1407. My only concern would be lead fouling but data shows you should be fine up 1400fps without a gas check.

Joe4d Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Primer flow is about as accurate as reading goat entrails and tea leaves. By the time you see physical signs of over pressure you are way over already. That being said you seem to be within book numbers. You'd really need to chrono at least 10 rounds at say 8.4 , 8.7 and 9.0.. to see whats what with your standard deviation. Also velocity should be linear, and tends to plateau when you get towards max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven420 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Was gonna say data collection sample size is too small to be accurate representation of SD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
