[QUOTE="just_jon, post: 1972535, member: 112153"] I shot Satterlee tests this morning with my Weatherby Vanguard 7mm STW with 140 Berger VLDs and 140 Accubonds and came up way short of advertised speeds. The Berger manual max of 81.2 grains is advertised as 3,262 fps from a 24” barrel. I achieved only 3,092 fps from the same length barrel. That is 34 fps slower than the starting load of 77.0 grains. Nosler website shows max of 81.0 grains at 3,432 from a 26” inch barrel. My 24” barrel should be in in the range of 3,350, but shot only 3,108 (84 fps slower than their starting load of 77 grains). I’m not complaining as the last 5 shots (79.2, 79.7, 80.2, 80.7 and 81.2 grains) with the Berger fell just under .4 MOA, but I am curious if others have had similar experiences. [/QUOTE]
