These numbers may seem a bit off and I'll post pictures as soon as I can.
I shot out to 1000 yards with this rifle for the first time today, the first time ive shot out to a thousand with a rifle somewhat worth a darn in my life actually.
7mm SAUM
H1000 at 67.5 grains...stuffed I couldnt get 68
but I tried
162 grain amax moly coated
wolf magnum primer
loaded 10 thou off lands
SIII 10x50x60
Primers were slightly flattened and bolt lift was normal as usual, no real pressure signs
Shot out of Criterion 9 twist 30 inch bull barrel on Savage Target action. Seven inch group at 1000 "not that great" three+ inch at 500 yards off the roof of my car with a sandbag.
I shot at 500 and 1000 after zeroing at 100 yards, results are as follows.
At 500 yards bullet drop was 35.24 inches with 100 yard zero
At 1000 yards bullet drop was 195.06 inches with 100 yard zero
The above 500 and 1000 yard data is what this program "Shooter" on my phone came up with at 3500 FPS.
My Chronograph said average was 3230 FPS but if I plugged this in my phone "program called SHOOTER" the data was way off from point of aim to point of impact.
If I plugged 3500 FPS into my phone, the data as far as clicks, bullet drop in inches were spot on with 3500 FPS plugged in. I had the auto weather updates on and everything.
I put 3230 (average from chronograph with ES of 19fps) into the "shooter" program and at 500 yards with 100yd zero, the 500 yard bullet drop is 41.8 inches and at 1000 yards with 3230fps in program bullet drop is 233.4 with 100yd zero
My range was also correct I checked it multiple times setting up a target to measure from every one hundred yards and double checked in multiples of 200 and 300 yards with laser range finder to insure didtance. I doubt im getting 3500 FPS out of this thing. Any advice is greatly appreciated, If anyone has good advice I know its someone on here. Thank you again.
