Busta you helped me and i recognize that . Thank you !!! My chronograph came up lame so ive flown by the seat of my pants for awhile now . I just very recently replaced it .Wait for it...............
........... it's always the same VOLUME! Has been since 2008.
I haven't weighed a Blackhorn 209 charge since I figured this out way back in 2008, and later proved to myself after chronographing loads through 2009. You just need to be able to consistently measure charges by VOLUME. If you need a crutch, then stick to a scale.
Jeff,
I've gotten blasted over the last 12 years for coming to the same conclusion as you when switching from one lot to the next, that you just put out in your video. Ironically, by some of the same people that you shoot competitions with, and others before and after you guys showed up here. I've never wavered from my findings. But, I'm just some dumb hunter that don't shoot in competitions.
Thanks for the video!
Another thing I discovered way back in 2008, is using the 0.060" thick veggie wads, .518" in the .50's, and .462" in the .45's. They not only help to provide in ignition, but help seal out the elements when using land rider or saboted bullets. If you use wool wads, then using the next bore size diameter has worked best for me. .50 cal wool wads in the .45's, and .54 cal wool wads in the .50's.
You have no doubt bursted several bubble heads, but my bubble is still holding air. Hopefully they don't blast you for your conclusions for the next twelve years, and beyond!
The second to last sentence is the key to the whole show there GM54-120 . We cant assume this for all applications . Be nice but no .When you weigh something you always have the same amount of that "something". In this case its a fuel. In the case of say fermenting cabbage its salt. You cant swap volumetric amounts of Kosher salt and table salt to achieve the same salinity of a brine. Fuel is no different.
It takes X amount of the actual fuel to achieve a desired result. Wether that result is speed or miles you want to go. So if the amount of fuel (propellent) i add by weight goes up, so does the velocity. This is assuming the chemical composition is the same and in similar amounts. Guys have been weighing real black for ages in competitive long range matches.
Busta you helped me and i recognize that . Thank you !!! My chronograph came up lame so ive flown by the seat of my pants for awhile now . I just very recently replaced it .
Many here fight everything thats new or different about anything . Ive ALOT more to give but reached a point of just why should i ??? To listen to what ??? Im also very pleased to be backed up by Jeff on his recent posts on much . Thanks again and congrats too .
The 90g of Blackhorn lot 31 each weighed 61.4g, and clocked at 1799 fps average
The 90g of Blackhorn lot 29 each weighed 67.5g, and clocked at 1871 fps average
IIRC, Doug S. measures/d by weight. IIRC, when he changed lots he adjusted his weighed charges to match his desired velocity.
Damn you are good Busta, never wrong i like thatWait for it...............
