[QUOTE="Yotehtr1, post: 1819288, member: 111054"] I did have a somewhat similar deal with this rifle last year with factory loads. I had just bought the rifle and instead of buying the stuff to load I bought some federal premium factory loads with Berger 185’s for deer season. Didn’t think I had enough time to work up a load. Anyway the advertised velocity was 2950 but I was consistently getting 3150-3170. I even verified it out to 600 yards with two different ballistic calculators to make sure my chronograph wasn’t lying but the velocities it was giving me lined up with the drops on target perfectly. After that I just figured maybe they used a 24” barrel to test or something and my 26” would obviously be faster. Not sure if this is relevant but kinda makes me wonder now [/QUOTE]
