[QUOTE="PowellSixO, post: 1207938, member: 66495"] According to my Chronograph, I'm at 3025-3050 fps. According to the G Seven Ballistics Program, I'm only getting 2965 fps. With the corrected fps calculation, my drops are perfect out to 600 yards (the furthest I've shot). I'm blaming my high reading on my chronograph. According to the reloading information I'm using, my corrected fps of 2965 fps is pretty much right on the money. According to the load information I have, 69.5 gr of H1000 and the 168 gr VLD (which is the published max) with a 26" barrel, they list 2987 fps. So I'm right where I should be, plus a few fps. I'm not sure why you're getting such low fps. That's a head scratcher for sure. I do show 70.7 gr of Ramshot gives 3017 fps, and also 65.3 gr of IMR-7828ssc gives 3002 fps. You might want to give them a try. But I wouldn't be too worried about not being over 3000 fps. It's just a number. If your load is accurate, that's what really matters. What are your actual drops for lets say 500, 600, and 700 yards? [/QUOTE]
