Hey Dbar,

Yes, it is original, and I am glad to hear I was correct in thinking it was 20 inches.

Best wishes,
Dave Wile

A Gamehog,

Quote:
25.0 Grains of AA2230 (Now western Powders)the makers of Ramshot bought them out.

LC 08 Brass 1.75"
CCI-400
62 Grain Armscor FMJ
2.255 COL
I haven't worked up to your load. I've tried 23gns of AA2230 with decent results (wish I had a chronograph), and I've got a few loaded at 23.5, and 23.8 for the morning.

Your load looks to be over max?

Are you getting any signs of over pressure at 25gns of AA2230?

Thanks,
DBAR

The 25 grains is under the max load in Sierra's book.

Actually it's just 1/10th over a "max" load suggested by Sierra.

they guide you with <<23.5 - 24.9>> as the recomended load range.

23 grains is going 2700+ FPS
25 grains is going 2900+ FPS

This book reads very conservative in their data. Safe but conservative.


I trust Sierra's data more. as it includes a reference to FMJ bullets as well as SP's and HP's

With this powder the pressure signs started for me at max load of 25.3 Flat primers.
