Cooper Load data

[243jimb]

I recall seeing the load data that Cooper use to shoot the sample target that they supply with their rifles. Does anyone recall it?
Jim.

 

[stubblejumper]

The test target that comes with each rifle lists the bullet, and the powder, but not the other details. As for being more specific, that is not possible without knowing which cartridge you are referring to.

 

[Dogleg]

I've got it printed. Which caliber are you interested in?

 

[Dogleg]

This is old, so the bigger and vastly more interesting cartridges aren't on it.

If you phone them they will probably give you the load data.

 

[track]

Funny, of all the three Coopers that I own I never used their load data for hunting/accuracy. Not that I haven't tried it, I always found that happy medium load from other sources.

 

[Dogleg]

You're never going to get a "one size fits all" load, but the test loads are a "Well looky here, the guns not broken" load. HSM used to load the test ammo, might still do it for all I know.

 

[cariboo 221]

dogleg thanks for the data

 

[redneckchris]

I called them and they were than happy to answer my questions and give me
Info on the load I asked about in my case it was the 243 Winchester and the info they gave me was 40.8 gr of h380 2.670 c.o.a.l and a 70 gr Sierra blitz king. That's different from what dogleg's list says

 

[Dogleg]

So they dropped it a grain, big deal deal. Powderpuff load either way.

 

[Cleftwynd]

I never put much faith in the factory provided targets, whatever they used to get that group is most likely not something we would ever use anyway. Different bullet, powder, way light on the powder charge, etc...

 

[nanuk]

and probably fired in a controlled environment

as was stated elsewhere, "If all competitions were held in the Warehouse, we'd all be shooting in the zero's"

 

[Dogleg]

The groups are fired at 50 yards, or maybe it was 45 meters, indoors.The warranty is for a 1/2" three shot group at 100.
