Quick update: Achieved a solid 2837’sec 5 shot average with IMR4350 and 100 grain Speer pointed soft point, no excessive pressure signs. Standard primer and 47.0 grains of IMR4350. I wish I could bring myself to fire a couple of my original Kynoch that are loaded with 41.5 grains of whatever they used, I would be surprised if those original loads made advertised velocities DISCLAIMER: If you happen to have a spare .242 Vickers chambered rifle sitting around please consider this load safe ONLY in my rifle. - Mike EDIT ADDED: The sights are a standing marked 200 yards and one folding leaf marked 300 yards. Using nominal velocity and ballistic coefficient assumptions and my altitude of 7500’ I will be looking for 1.3” high at 50 yards and ~2.2” high at 100 yards. This is to be checked my next outing. |
