Doubleriflejack, Thank you for these loads listed, I never trust to information passed along but when everything looks similar you can bet the info is probably good. I know that Ross Seyfried came up with a formula for converting from black powder to IMR 4198. I feel that that is a good place to start to develop loads for the new gun, reduced amounts at first, of course. I will be shooting for a finished weight of 10.5 to 11.0 pounds, with a nice Kick-eze pad added, I don't think the recoil will be too punishing. I do have a chronograph and it is pretty accurate, I know this because I checked it against my old Ohler before I sold it. I will try and start 650 grain bullets out at something less than 1650 and move slowly up to get as much as 1800 FPS.or there abouts. I have no doubts about the new gun holding up, if the loose nut behind the buttplate doesn't come unhinged. Bob |
