Mach Trimming for Handloading Nerds
Regards sub-sonic shooting accuracy. Cliffs - Vertical group spread is cut in half by loading for a velocity average matching the speed of sound. Half the shots will exit the barrel sub-sonic, the half that don't suffer a larger drop in speed exiting the barrel thus cutting velocity deviation in half.

Watched a couple minutes. Yes, as an engineer, I've known subsonic/transonic/supersonic makes huge differences in aerodynamic performance. Read some Navier-Stokes stuff.
Can you give me a short description of the punchline? Why is anybody interested in rimfire? I've looked at some Varmint guns that were very small caliber. SuperDuperSonic. I've looked at subsonic 300 Blackout solutions for suppression. Will this video help me at all? |
I understand some of it. I am waiting for the sub sonic loads that SOF guys use. Since it will be tested way beyond any hand loader is going to do.
I know in the Mk262, Mk 318 556 rounds? ammo they are always more accurate than me. |
Word. Gavin also just published a video on pushing 308 WIN to 308 WinMag velocities (well over SAAMI specs).

Watched that the other day. My only 308 is semi-auto, won't be running any hot loads through that. Reliable function is the rule there. But I did get similar results as they showed in my Ruger 243 varmint rifle (longgg 1" bull barrel) using some of techniques they utilized (I'd use case measurements for pressure indications as opposed to simple visual inspection of the case head for impressions and flattened or backed out primers). I also won't be making powder adjustments in 1 grain increments. The 243 uses 308 brass so getting ultra velocity with a 6mm bullet wasn't too much of a chore. Ruger's are built like tanks to begin with and the rifling on mine was a new thing at the time I bought it, only one side of the lands has a sharp cut which was said to add extra velocity. Didn't chrono it but I was closing in on 4100fps according to calculations before any major pressure signs became evident. That's a shit-ton of velocity! Did this just for experimentation though, not an everyday load any means. |

Actually my 1961 1894 with a 20 inch tube prefers old school 170 grain Winchester factory fodder while the Ranger version likes 150s at about 2100 fps.
PlusP+ 185s in the Colt print pretty close to the sights at 100.... you just have to concentrate. |

I hope there is more market adaptation of the 277 fury hybrid case to bump pressures up around 80k psi to many other cartridges. It would also be nice to see more variants of fast twist setups like the 8.6BLK with it's crazy terminal ballistics and ability to shoot both heavy grain and light grain bullets. |

Nice. At what distance?
