My loaded rounds for the above test at -.003 were about 3.183” OAL.
7 FCP, a cartridge developed specifically for the F Class Scene...

I tested once again at 1000 yards and couldn’t have asked for a better day as far as conditions go.
I will post chrono numbers once I download them but they are very good and compared to the last session.
The screen shots show the charge used and powder type. We used fed210 primers, 180 hybrid. My rounds were loaded with .003 jump and my partner used .020 jump.
Chrono data:
58.5 (N555) AVG 2966 ES 11.90 SD 3.6
59 (H4831SC) AVG 2935 ES 21.90 SD 5.2

Wrapped up Sunday with some more No turn 7FCP testing at 1000. I used 58.3 of N555 and jumped 180’s (.025”). This data is for 25rds to include cold bore AVG 2963 ES 26.8 SD 5.9. My partner tested with the same charge weight but he slightly neck turned the necks.
I managed a 198-10X, my partner shot a 194-6X and he also shot a 22BR which scored a 197-9X in the same conditions (not bad for a 80.5 bullet).
Results are still not sufficient to even attempt playing at the higher level and is still a work in progress.

I have tried 190’s only in my 7FCP, about to the point of giving up on them. One last attempt then going to 180’s
Yea, 180 is a superior bullet to the 190.

Yes sir the 180’s are the ones, really wanted the 190’s to shoot well. They group fine and then get the dreaded flyer out of no where. I have a few more things I’m changing up on my loads 1st of next week. If not back to 180’s. The 190’s hold tight in my straight 284 @ 2770 FPS. I’m pushing the 190’s 2885 in the FCP. Plans are to change up charges and nk tensions and see if it will settle down.
When it’s throws a shot it’s usually high, vertical is really good for 6 to 7 shots then it happens.

Has anyone tried VV165 in there 7FCP? Wanting to give it a shot w/ 190’s?
Let me save you some time. Use the 190's for fire forming. Go straight to a 184 or 180.
what was your load combo? that's pretty amazing
