[QUOTE="pwrdbycotn, post: 1261380, member: 29096"] Who really cares what his chrono says? My chrono reads slow, others read fast. All the chrono does is give me a good starting point to enter numbers into a ballistic calculator before I verify at distance. When you go shoot at his range and he shoots his 300 win mag at 1400 yards with a 230 berger, try to observe or flat-out ask him how many minutes he has to come up to reach 1400 yards. THAT will give you a true idea of how fast the bullet is traveling. Shooting 210 berger hunting vld's out of my 26" 300 ultra, it will take 44.1 minutes up to get to 1400, at 350ft asl. Now, I haven't shot it that far, but I know my drops are correct to 1000, so I'm pretty sure that number is going to be darn close at 1400. I'm willing to bet it will take his 300 win mag a WHOLE BUNCH more than 44.1 to get to 1400, if he's truly shooting a 230. I say this guy is better at shooting his mouth than his gun! [/QUOTE]
