Thread: The 8x60 S

Second round of testing showed somewhat disappointing but predictable results.
I tried batches of 3 rounds at 1gr increments from 47gr to 52gr.
The chrony was being temperamental AF so I only got a few readings, but enough to tell me that 52gr was only nudging just under 2400fps. Accuracy was in the range of 2.5" at 100 so close enough for government work, although I was hoping for better based upon the nice group I shot at 50m with the 150gr interlocks.
Recoil was still pretty mild at that load.
Looks like I have a few more steps to go, perhaps 55gr and beyond.
Time to brew up another batch from 53-58gr. I feel like I should be reaching 2800 at least, since the 8x57 can achieve that with 150gr
