Thread: Lupo 30-06 load development "the lone wolf"

As I said my chrono may not be reading correct but in saying that some loads I have chrono in other rifles and then validated the drop have been pretty close, so reasonably confident it is good info I am getting.
My load is with the 178gr ELDX with 58 grs SF and the COAL is 84 mm.
I have two chrono's so I might line them both up so I can get a reading of the same shot over two different chrono's, one is a F1 Chrono the other a Pro Chrono plus.
I tried this with some 223 loads and got readings between 10 and 50 fps between the two units for the same loads. Might give it a go with the 30 06.

That's interesting indeed, my C.O.A.L is 84.68mm so not much longer than yours.....every rifle is different as is every chrono wonder if those eldx pills are just a little slipperier and that helps themmfly a little quicker ?

If its a new rifle the barrel may well speed up a bit with a few hundred rounds down it.

Here's a pic without the calipers in the way.




We have been using a ring of firewood to screw the targets into.....the 30-06 certainly hits with authority, who needs a splitter when you've got a 30-06.....
