[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 853574, member: 10178"] As far as what the ballistics say on a box of factory ammo go it is worth nothing to you. I have found that ammo makers exaggerate these figures greatly, plus they use pressure test barrels that have tighter chambers and usually have much longer barrels than average rifles. The only way to know what the ballistics are is to shoot the ammo in your rifle over a chronograph to find the real velocity and shoot at the distances you will be using to confirm the drop with all the same lot number ammo. If you change lot number of ammo then very often your data will change. That is the reason that you should hand load and get as much of the same lot numbers of powder, bullets, primers and cases as you can afford. Consistency is the name of the game for accuracy.
