    Probably not helpful but I'm shooting 55gr through 22" at 3060fps. Interested to see what speeds you're getting with heavier projectiles.

    Dougie, we are getting 2803 fps with the 75 amax using Ar2206H. Over 5 shots we had an ES of 9 fps

    Hence the reason why I am asking in regard to shooting the 75gn amax's. They were really easy to get to shoot for that rifle
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
