[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 481170, member: 21068"] Going off a chronograph will probably give you a better idea than even shooting just to 300 yds. IMO, If you want to figure velocity from actual shooting point of impact, it needs to be out to about 400 minimum, 500 would be better. There are alot of variables in point of impact, and an important one is the sight height and true exact sight in distance. Alot of this is "masked" when shooting under 300 yds. FWIW, I would chrono the loads. Then when you get a chance to shoot long range, compare the computer predicted ballistics with real life ballistics. IMO, real life ballistics are the way to go, but I realize not everyone has the ability to shoot long range very easily. [/QUOTE]
