Ammo Chamber Pressure Testing

[PrecisionFirearms]

In about 2 weeks we will be testing loads and creating new loads in conjunction with our new Chamber Pressure Testing Machine. This new rig will give us chamber pressures so we can develop new loads.

We will also test customer loads and give them a print out with muzzle velocity reading. Estimated cost to do this is $150. We will need at least 10 rounds of your loads.

Ideally, wouldnt you also need the end users rifle as well for an accurate reading, or is it close enough for horseshoes and hand gernades?

Re the new WOLF 6.5mm Grendel Steel Case ammo 100-grain bullet muzzle velocity: 2600 fps, from a 20" barrel. Considering this performance represents some 200 - 250 fps less velocity than reported with brass cases, from a 20" barrel http://www.rifleshootermag.com/uncat...del-evolution/, it would be interesting to know the average chamber pressure of this new offering from WOLF.

This testing is for baselining your handloads. Not your rifle. They will be tested in a Bartlein 24 inch 920 barrel.

Very cool! I don't really have anything I would spend that kind money to test, but I think it's really neat that you are going to offer it. I hope you end up with a bunch of ammo to test.

Who knows what kind of surprises you might find that way? I can envision some good stuff coming out it, and wish you much success.
