tpe187 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Hi Guys, I'm working up a 3gun load for my JP 18" with 55gr fmjbt. Just wondering what velocity you guys are aiming for with your reloads. Currently I loaded some 55's and BLC(2) and got an average of 3000fps with Win brass and primers. I was thinking It should be up a little higher, more like 3100-3150 out of an 18". 62gr SS109 ammo clocked just over 3K in my upper. Thanks for your thoughts Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpowe Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 (edited) Well, you have to make 2909 ft/sec to make minor with 55gr. Whatever faster that gives the best accuracy... Edited February 8, 2006 by bpowe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minor floor for rifle 150000, 2728fps will do it with a 55. A 62 would need 2420. I like my 55s between 3100 and 3200.-----Larry Edited February 8, 2006 by lkytx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
