[QUOTE="cajun, post: 2120310, member: 9772"] Being cautious is a good thing. It’s always good to have data with the exact combo you are using. I usually figure 25-50fps increase or decrease per inch of barrel length. I also like to reference several sources of data and try and get a big picture. For example if the max I’m seeing from several sources is 3000 fps with a certain bullet then I would use that as a benchmark. One thing I usually do with a new combo is run a one shot ladder looking for pressure. Shooting over the chrono watching the velocity and looking for all the normal signs of pressure. [/QUOTE]
