Results thrown in garbage.
Yes, the ES on the BH 77 is exceptionally high for what I’d expect from BHs.
I had a couple cases of Magtech 77 gr that had an ES of 113. (20 rds chrono’d)
It shot pretty good to 400, much past that the vertical variance/stringing was really noticeable.
I’m convinced that I really need to handload if I’m pursuing extreme precision from a round.
Was the black hills blue box or red box
Red box.
What did you chrono that with?
If it was an optical type chrono, you can throw most of the results in the garbage.
If you all can’t formulate conversations without bickering and instating I’m locking this thread and handing out time-outs.
The pertinent results from the chrono tests aren’t so much the maximum velocity as they are the extreme spread and standard deviation, as they relate to consistency in the ammo. @Armed Citizen talking about “Velocity is not king” betrays the fact that he doesn’t know what the chrono results are for. @Straight Shooter might have overreacted a teensy bit though…
This crossed my mind too. Ultimately though, the shooting results will either corroborate or put into question the chrono numbers. If you’re getting vertical stringing, then the 77 fps ES is probably accurate.
Good contribution. Thanks.
that is disappointing,my best results so far as ES consistency have been from blue box 75 grain or ASYM 75 grain and it didn’t matter which weapon i was shooting it from.
that kind of ES from match ammo is mediocre.
I had to go pull some old data but I am showing 77g Black Hills Red Box with a ES of 23 and another group of ES @16.
Even the factory seconds (white box) were in the ES of the mid 30s.
Measured with a MagnetoSpeed.
Ok, THATS what Ill do then, Ill throw the results in the garbage. Appreciate that advice.
LOCK IT UP PLEASE.
I have thrown the results in the garbage as requested.
Locked per request.
