Friday I put on the 22 inch 12 twist Swift Barrel that came out of the classifieds here last week. I shot one of my existing loads of 37 IMR 4064 and Nosler 55 grain shots.
1. 3578
2. 3560
3. 3568
4. 3565
5. 3562
The gun likes these loads and will stay under an inch for five shots and a half inch for three shots so I think I'll just stick with this load but I decided to make a small scope adjustment so I checked 3 more.
1.3496
2.3453
3.3430
I turned the chronograph off in between groups and I'm just curious if anyone one else has got some screwball numbers with these cheap chronographs. According to Nosler load data group 1 velocities are just what they should be.
I should mention that I shot a third group as well and I forgot to check the speed on the first two but the last one was 3502 and I did cycle the chronograph on and off before that group.
