This was earlier this weekthis was todayshoots decent without tuning. Recovered some from the 100 yard plate you can tell the different angles, they coincide with different speeds

That is way better than I ever would have expected from a first try. Way to go Geno.

 

[matthias]

This is very cool. Keep up the good work.

That's my kind of load development...or lack of.
Shoots stellar right out of the box.
Nice work Geno.

 

[Geno C]

It wasn’t the first load. Not that lucky. Second powder ive tried. I made it up to 1162fps before I ran out of capacity.

 

[Sandstorm]

Ok...so you had to work at it a bit.
Its refreshing to see someone try goin this rout for a change.
Everyone'e blown out a Magnum size already.

this is too Kool!!, love little bullets and little recoil!!

 

[matthias]

So what kind of write up are you going to do at the end? Trajectory, load method, powders ?

Cool, when you get done with this project would you neck it down please.

You meant "Go Ackley Improved, and neck it down", didn't you?

And of course Geno needs to get a 15" drop tube, and work up some compressed loads.

Don't listen to us Geno, we're just hav'n fun.

I could probably do something like that.

 

[Geno C]

I got to 1160ish with a compressed load so I grabbed the next faster powder in my inventory. I think I’ve found the top speed in my current setup. 1289fps!

A 20cal version could be kind of fun

 

[jonbearman]

What are you going to use to prime it with and what powder?

 

[Gabe22BR]

Cool Gene!!!

 

[Geno C]

The brass is already primed. Single use. So far, Titewad, clays, longshot and lil gun have been tested

I hear 4227 might work for your heavy weight solid core bullet.
just what I hear...dont know for sure.??

Is it more dense than lil gun? If not, it’s too slow

 

[Sandstorm]

Thanks for a great post really enjoy people bending the norm.
