[QUOTE="D-mon, post: 2147628, member: 1523"] Hi, Today I was helping a friend shooting his factory Remington 700 xrc in 7rem mag at 900 yards. He was using factory hornady precision hunter ammunitions. That ammo is supposed to have a velocity of about 2940fps . We chronographed it at 2766fps. When running that speed through Balistic AE we were bang on the 22.5moa of drop announced for 900 yards with his set up and the current atmospheric conditions (25 deg Celsius , warm afternoon). So no problem on that side. But I was really surprised to see that ammo going close to 190fps slower than what is was advertised for , specially in a 26" barrel. Have any of you noticed that much difference with that ammo? [/QUOTE]
