Range Report-45 Disc Elite
 

Well I got out this morning with the 45cal Disc Elite and theProChrono and got some numbers for Trip7 2Fg 80grains Actual Wieght/ 100grains By Volume, Pinnacle 3Fg, APP 2Fg, APP 3Fg, and Shockey's Gold 3Fg-ALL these used same load-exactly 92grains Actual Wieght/ 100grains By Volume. These By Volume wieghts determined by a CVA brass measure, tapped until I could'nt get any more in it, and Actual Wieght determined by my RCBS 502 Balance Beam Scales;) All shooting done @25yards.

Weather was 70deg, Humidity bout 80%, Wind at my back bout 8 MPH, partly cloudy.

Had some strange readings first thing, shooting 200g 10m/40 cal XTP in Harvester Crush Rib(HCB)[&:] So I swapped batteries and tried again! And got the same results:)


Shockey's 3FG 100grains by vol(BV), 92grains by Actual Wieght(AW)
Average(12 shots)-2434fps




Well that still shocked me, cause I really did'nt expect that kinda speed. So I switched bullets. I then started using 275 HP/PowerBelts with the same 100grain loads as above:

APP 2Fg avg- 1966
Shocky's avg- 1952
Pinnacle avg-1937
APP 3Fg avg- 1946
Trip7 2Fg avg- 1724


OK, so then I did some 200grain 10mm/40calXTP's in the HCR sabots, with70grain by Volume measurements. APP products all wieghed in at 65grains Actual Wieght, with Trip7 at 56grains AW.

APP 2Fg avg- 1993
Shocky's avg- 1981
Trip7 2Fg avg- 1870
Pinnacle avg-Duh...Forgot to load up the Pinnacle tubes[:@][&:]:D
APP 3Fg avg- 1685


Well that's pretty much all the time I had this morning!


Sombody chime in here and let me know what cha tink:D

Those are some very interesting results. You really had the bullet moving there. What kind of accuracy were you getting with them loads?

I have the same chrono and I shoot the 10mm 200 grain XTP with 100 grains of T7-2f @ 2000 fps and that is the average from the Omega and the Remingtons from the WhiteI shoot 110 grains of T7-2f (2150fps ave)- but I do use a MMP HPH 40/50 Blue sabot.

RE: Range Report-45 Disc Elite
 

Well I only did some grouping shots at 50 yards, to make sure the loads were stable with no bullets sriking sideways:D Got 1.5" with both loads.

Thanks sabotloader

Idunno, just can't make sense of that high velocity for the XTP. I'm gonna look for some old stats I did last year and see if these are even close. Hope my Chrono is'nt taking a dive[&:]

I do not know but those pro-chronos are pretty good chronos...

Here is a target shot from my A&H with several velocities...

RE: Range Report-45 Disc Elite
 

OK

Found some of my First stats I did with the Prochrono from 30Sep06:



Maybe the sabots are causing trouble out to 25yards????[&:]

Next Cool day...I'm going to re-do it again:)
