Rem 700 SML barrel question

[ambushunter]

Looking for velocity differences, I know powder/bullet choices will matter, but say the same weight bullet. What would one expect to gain going 26in shoulder fit barrel vs 26in remage barrel?

What are the shank dimensions on those? There wouldn’t be much just in 2” barrel difference alone.

1.06" vs 1.25" diameter. I have read comments that the smaller shamk diameter can't be loaded as hot.

That’s true. Maybe someone else can elaborate on max pressure differences.

That's what she said....
Sorry, I had to....

Small shank i would say max is about 65gr of 4198 and a 275gr. In a Full 1.25"x5" long shank barrel you are looking at more like 75-78gr as the max load with the same bullet.

About 200-300fps faster with the 1.25" x 5" long shank barrel. That estimate is using a 275gr and 4198.

Agree with Gm54-120. Have found that to be the case also..

My Pacnor is a small shank Savage so nearly the same size as a Remage. I was always told to stick to 45kpsi as max. Them full shank barrels can hit 55kpsi or slightly more. Im a bit cautious though so 50kpsi is a good safe bet.

I have a remage and was told 65-68gr 4198 and a 275 would be max... I settled at 66gr for accuracy.

Has anyone used Acc4064 with the 275 grain bullets? The following prediction from QuickLoad looks promising.

It is predicting a fairly low pressure with good velocity.

I shot a couple of groups with this powder a few weeks ago and need to try some more.

I haven’t used AA 4064, 105 Grs seem like a “Tall” Powder Stack?

Curious, Noticed you didn’t have the Friction Proof Box Checked in the QL Data. I’m Learning & thought you set it at 0.4 to partially account for “No Bullet Throat Engraving” like the CF Cartridges?

It is a tall powder stack. Thanks for the tip about the friction proof box. I am still learning.

I'm just getting started learning QL. Its a lot to take in, & into consideration when plugging in data. Like the 0.4 friction proof box for a great example. Fortunately, I have some guidance to turn to & Billyboy has been one of them.
