HOW FAST???
« on: June 30, 2005, 02:43:19 PM »
I worked up a load for my 7-08 encore rifle using Hornady 139gr SST bullets and 44 grains of H4831sc.  Bullet is seated 2.90, cci200 primers.  Shoots one inch groups at 100 yards.  My question is:  Does anybody have any idea what muzzle velocity I may have?  The data I used does not have velocity printed for that particluar bullet and powder.  Thanks for any help...  :D

With 43g of H4350 and a 139 hornady with a  BR2 primer I get 2280 so I'm guessing your under that with the slower powder. Maybe 2250 or so.

My guess would be around 2500 fps I found that a charge of 45 grain gives 2559 fps  Good luck ......Bob
