I am confused as to bh209 measurement. I want to shoot 110 grain charge. So I started out using volume. At 120 grains and I was 4 inches high and shot a 3" group at 50 yards. So I weighed 3 charges of 120g/v. They varied anywhere from 88g to102g/W . So then I looked up that 84g/w was supposed to be 120g/v. I decided to step down to 110g charge. Qich is supposed to be 77g/w. So I sat down with three weighed charges of 77g/w and proceeded to shoot the best group of my life. So if ylu don't think you should weigh bh209 I highly disagree. I will even go as far as to say it's dangerous not to. I mean one of those 120g/v charges I shot had to be 102g/w bc my butler creek flip up scope cap slapped me in the eyebrow and I have 4" of eye releif!!! Your telling me that 120 grain charge??? I think not. And my accuracy skyrocketed after weighing. What I'm wondering is are my conversions right? I need to know for muzzle velocity to plug in to my nikon spot on app. I should be around 2050 fps. My setup is this:
Cva optima v2 26" bbl.
110g/v or 77g/w bh209
250grain smackdown sst.
Please let me know if anyone has chronograph d this load I will try and get one myself but I prolly won't have the money. I am going to verify my LOAD drop at the range of course but I need to have the numbers to back it up. That way I can quickly see if it's right or wrong. I can find this load info at traditions website but it's for the 120bh209. And I can find this on blackhorns website but I've heard those numbers are slightly inflated. Please help me as I am trying to gear up toward whitetail season that is quickly approaching.
Thank u for your time.-T.Brady
