[QUOTE="budlight, post: 492051, member: 2939"] No it is not the best thing since sliced bread. People jumped on things in the past because of reloading books quoted velocities. Or because of testing with a limited amount of powder choices some author would deem some cartiage as over bore. Also faulty velocity not made when comparing apples and apples. You can't compare a 26 or 28 inch throated barrel against and smaller case using a 22 or 24 inch barrel that is not throated and come to a valid conclusion. Don't ever base your bullets speed on a reloading book. I've seen inconsistancies where they have loads of more grains of a faster burning powder producing less pressure. Like they need a proof reader for their made up info. I had a friend for year bragging about his 7Mag loads. Well we bought a chrono and it opened his eyes. I do think from my more than 30 years of shooting .277 cal rifles that if they would have had the following of some of the other calibers and given a wide variety of heavy VLD bullets that it could have become a very accurate rifle combo. My throated 270 AI chronos right along with the weatherby's that we were bench rest shooting different days.:) [/QUOTE]
