Shot the Encore

[SuperKirby]

Got to shoot a few thought the Encore yesterday evening. Main goal was to get a few shots over the chronograph and see where I was at. 7 shots, all with 58 gr. H4198, 275 gr. Fury Star tip over a .060 veggie wad. I’m going to try to attach the report generated by the chrono. Let me know if it doesn’t work.

First shot was still loaded from last year's deer season. Chrono showed 373? Figured that probably wasn't correct. Adjusted the chrono and tried again.

Shots 2-5 were good. Shot 4 where the velocity jumped felt good but loaded easier than any others. The others all felt about the same.

Shot 6 didn’t register on the chrono. I know for sure I pulled the shot. I believe it’s the high shot in the group.

One primer left on the bench so I took a shot at the 150 yard gong. Hit was good.

Good night shooting.

I would love to see what your velocity is using BH 209. We can't use smokeless here in NM. I'd also like to know what barrel you're using.

I’m shooting the ASG Brux 1-20 twist. Length escapes me at the moment but I want to say it’s 25”? If I ever shoot BH209 again I’ll shoot it over a chrono. At this time I don’t have any plans to shoot BH209. I have a few lbs of smokeless to keep me busy and no BH209. If it becomes more readily available I may give it a shot.

ASG/MGM has a video up with a very similar rifle using BH209. They are getting 2150fps+ with a 300gr bullet.
