Nick,
How fast can you push 5/8 in a 70mm hull with your Rex? You're using #1 mostly? Must be gettin' close to 1600fps.
Cheers,

The loads I hunted with were going 1570 fps but these were untested , but I know were fine .
I would have to say 1700 is probally the limit for the 5/8 OZ , currently
one amoungst us is working on and having tested using the new wad a
1/2 OZ load attempting to go near the 2000 FPS mark and lets hope they make it , I want to shoot a load going that fast for the fun of it .
The load are being tested real soon .
Regards Charles |

Does Precision Relading have the wads listed on their web site yet? I didn't see them. I ordered a couple K from Recob's and I'd like to order a couple more from Precision. Support those who are supportng us and I want to test a couple loads. |
