[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 373017, member: 2736"] Factory ammo If tested at all is tested under ideal conditions and normally a longer barrel than most factory rifles have. But most velocities are calculated and are normally Higher than achievable in your rifle. I chronagraph all loads that I shoot in my rifles and have found only one brand of ammo that normally meets the velocity advertised. (The 378 based Weatherby cases). Remember, velocity sells and they don't mind stretching/manipulating the numbers because every rifle is different and velocities will vary from rifle to rifle. so they feel safe and will just say it's your rifle and not the ammo. Also if you place hot ammo in a short throated chamber it will/would be dangerous so they overate it and play it safe by loading it down so it can be shot in every rifle regardless of chamber and throat dimensions. Some rifles will come close but most won't. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
