Found My Pet Load

Post by GasGuzzler »

Didn't know what to put as the Bullet Coefficient because I could find the 23gr FNSCFB in any chart.

Created: 01/24/16 12:59 PM
Description: Firestrike Elite
Distance to Chrono(FT): 4.00
Ballistic Coefficient: 1.000
Bullet Weight: 23.00 gr
Temp: 53 °F
BP: 30.27 inHg

# FPS FT-LBS PF
10 48 0.12 1.10
9 49 0.12 1.13
8 48 0.12 1.10
7 48 0.12 1.10
6 48 0.12 1.10
5 48 0.12 1.10
4 48 0.12 1.10
3 49 0.12 1.13
2 50 0.13 1.15
1 48 0.12 1.10
Average: 48.4 FPS
SD: 0.7 FPS
Min: 48 FPS
Max: 50 FPS
Spread: 2 FPS
Shot/sec: 0.1
True MV: 48 FPS
Group Size (in): 0.00

Not so sure 0.12 ft/lbs energy would do much for an SD gun. I tested a dollar store version and got much more extreme SD and ES with half the FPS. The Firestrike even has a laser dot. I have to tinker with the app as it picked the temp and humidity itself and there's no way it's that cool in my den/dining room.

FNSCFB is Flat Nose Suction Cup Foam Body

Best Firestrike Elite price on eBay

Neat, but I think a BC of one is a bit optimistic. If I remember correctly that's as good as it gets in terms of BC ;) .

That went over like a lead balloon.

No one is interested in a sub-30 grain .50 cal at 48 FPS?

Dang, I was proud of myself for figuring out how to set up the Santa-Chrony, load the phone app, record data, save it, and share it.

Good for you, GG .... I got the cherry on my Chrony in the back yard with a Umarex Octane pellet pusher. It was only pushing 14 gr projectiles ... at a bit higher velocity :lol:

Good practice though with the "new technology"

I might try my 30 year old Powerline 880 next. I don't get to shoot real guns often enough.

It didn't work for its real first use. Looks like they're sending another
