Trying out some 75 grain Hornady hollow point in the 25-270. Reloder 16
Looks like I am going to have to drop down another grain. This load was 1 grain under max.

Why are you dropping a grain?

P.s.
I always liked those cheap and simple chronographs

 

[FOTIS]

That is 50 gr velocity my friend not 75.

Yeah, I do also.
Still have and use the one I bought from Fotis. ( Chrony ) Mine has the remote read out which I like since I have trouble seeing the read out on the ones that don't have that feature.
I did manage to shoot it with one of my pellet rifles since the scope sets really high above the bore on them, but it still works better than a friend's more expensive brand.

Max velocity for that bullet weight is 3800 per Sierra where I got the load data. No pressure signs, but I don't want to wear out a 95 year old action. Ballistics table shows that even 3700 fps will keep a sub 1" point blank range for 225 yards.

Well your bbl and you will have something to say about that sub 1" more than any "table potential"

That said what is the item # of the Hornady bullets you're using?
