Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By licoricenoose: I’m running the 77smk over 25gr Accurate 2520 @ 2.260 COAL. I think the velocity is closer to 2450fps. I think the discrepancy is in my altitude. I’m at 7000 feet so I have a little bit of an edge with the thinner air. You up in the Ashfork/Williams area? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Eyekahn: I was talking about his velocity and energy on target at 1k J. We can def get hits at 1k here with a quick 77gr load. But an 11.3 is gonna have about half that energy on target here and about 300fps less. We'd have to have a camera down there to see hits as 100ft/lbs ain't too much haha. Well yeah, I know we can stretch them to a grand down here but why? I doubt we could even hear it on steel at that range, lol. We'd be wasting good match pills!

Went back to this build being a mini Recce setup. The 1.93” is actually nice, but I think I like 1.7” better. I wish ADM make a 1.7” mount.
