I ran some numbers through Gordon’s Reloading Tool, and my goal is to get a 69/68gr around 2650fps but still accurate. Accuracy dropped off before 2500fps in the 13.7”
@@drummnl at what distance are you still getting that velocity? I use a 10.5" and just zero at 36 yards. Point of impact still hitting a/b zone at 300 yards with about 8 inch drop from point of aim. But I'm also still using 55 or 62g so not sure what that would like like on windy day
@@kevpachakey So I’m basing everything off of muzzle velocity. I’m using a 50/200 yard zero. At 200yds I will have an estimated 2145fps and at 300 an estimated 1914fps. In certain locations when shooting from a elevated position, the wind tosses around the 55 grain bullet pretty good. Anytime I’m dealing with strong winds past 300 yards I like the idea of having a heavier projectile
Well done Sir!
Thank you Sig!
What data did you look at to figure out the increase in velocities? How much fps advantage will you have with the increase 3/4 of an inch?

Maybe so the next one in a muscle shirt. Lol
