[QUOTE="archanfire, post: 2747312, member: 95445"] I called Barnes and the sum up for the .30 TSX(308): -Minimum FPS for 170% expansion(expected not guaranteed) is 1800fps at impact. -Referring to SAMII, which calibrated based out of a 24" barrel(which I do not have) and based off my geographical location/average temps, I SHOULD be good on expansion out of a 16" UP TO ~375yrds. That's with a muzzle velocity of 2650 unless loaded hotter. Additional info: FPS loss/gain averages 25fps per inch deviation from SAMII specs. So from 16", I should expect to lose 200fps as opposed to shooting from the 24" reference. I didn't know that at the start of this, so I thought I'd pass it on. Many thanks to all comments! I feel I have A LOT to learn 😂😫 [/QUOTE]
