Berger 30gr Varmint Data

Posted by tdevince

Data using the Berger 30 grain Varmint Match bullet. I anticipate this to be close to the Barnes 30gr Varmint Grenade when it becomes available:

Trim Length: 1.129"
Primer: CI-400
Case OAL: 1.580"
Powder: Ramshot TruBlue

Powder Wt: 5.8 Gr.
Avg. Velocity: 1924 fps
Energy: 247 ft-lb

Powder Wt: 6.0 Gr.
Avg. Velocity: 1697fps
Energy: 258ft-lb

Powder Wt: 6.4 Gr.
Avg. Velocity: 2091 fps
Energy: 291ft-lb

Powder Wt: 7.0 Gr.
Avg. Velocity: 2222 fps
Energy: 329 ft-lb

Follow-up by Medula Oblongata:
I've experimented with these up to 7.4 grains, but I would consider 7.0 to be the maximum that I would give to another person to shoot.
