Objective:
I am developing this load to be shot out of an SBR with a suppressor. This will mainly be used to hunt hogs at night at distances less than 100 yards. The goal is to find a powder that produces reasonable accuracy (~ 1 MOA) and consistent velocities around 1,050 fps.
Conditions:
- Date: 10/8/22
- Temperature: 60F
Firearm:
- Barrel: Roscoe Bloodline 10.5” 1:7 Twist
- Upper: PSA
- Lower: PSA
- Lower Parts: PSA
- Trigger: Larue MBT2
Components:
- Bullet: Hornady 190 gr SUB-X – G1 B.C.: 0.437
- Powder: Hodgdon Lil’ Gun
- Primer: CCI #41
- Brass: Lake City
- Dies: Hornady 2-die set
- Chronograph: Caldwell Ballistic Precision
Measurements:
- Case Trim Length: 1.358
- C.O.L.: 2.050
Load / Model Data:
- Charge Data
- Expected Ballistics Table
- Expected Bullet Drop
Results:
- 8.2 Grains
Summary:
With 8.2gr of Hodgdon Lil’ Gun the velocities were right in line with the goal. However, the accuracy wasn’t what I was looking for and this load didn’t lock my bolt back on the last round. I found other loads that performed better durring my testing and wouldn’t use this.
