[QUOTE="roaddog1m, post: 380990, member: 21260"] That makes sense. I've always had trouble reaching other peoples attained velocities with similar loads. I always attributed it to being a little higher elevation, shorter barrel or just plain BS. I realize that there are many other variables and I was usually always trying this with hunting barrel length rifles. (22"-24") My .308 has a 26" heavy barrel. It's [B]really[/B] hard to get factory ammo to shoot up to claimed velocities. Most factory rifle ammo measures at least 100fps less than what they claim. Federal has been the only manufacturer who lived up to there claims that I have attempted to measure. :cool: [/QUOTE]
