Yep I have a scale. How is that figured by volume vresus by weighed charge? Oh, I got an email from Jeff Dinwiddy of Knight rifles stating that a by volume charge of 70 grs. of 777 is max load for the Hawkeye.
You and Encoreman are lucky to have a late season like that here in Indiana Sunday is the end and I am not ready to quit!!!!
Encoreman,
Got the scope yesterday afternoon, got a feeling we will be making some noise around here today, I owe ya one!
Weigh out a bunch of volumetric charges and average them out. I get like 47.9 average for 60 gr loads ss I just rounded up 1/10 a grain. As to the max charge, I just reported what I was told by Knight customer service. This is a discontinued gun and they don't have any for testing 777 with em. Besides, it kickes enough with 60 Gr. FFFG and a 240 gr XTP, I'd hate to try that with 70 Gr. and that 240 XTP.
PATRICK, WE THINK YOU SHOULD MAX. AT 60 GRS. OF 777 FFFG....70 GRS IS MAX. CHARGE SUGGESTED 777 FFG[/align][/align]Lee Schwerdtfeger
