[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 292531, member: 5219"] BH: Many years one of the Sierra Techs told me to measure the distance from the muzzle to the center of the chronograph in feet and multiply that distance by 2.1 fps . Example: if distance is 10 ft then add 21 fps to instrumental speed for actual speed. ---------------------- Went out today to see how the RL-17 would work in that previously mentioned 24" 7 Rem Mag with moly coated 140 nosler ballistic tips. Temps again were warm beginning with 80 degrees at 6:30 AM and escalating from there. 64 gr ave velocity 3210 65 gr ave 3255 66 gr ave 3285 67 gr ave 3330 Accuracy was nothing to rave about. This is all I loaded....no pressure signs. I will load up with higher charge weights and try this wednesday. FYI the same 140 with RL-22 has outstanding accuracy. Pet load is 74 grains IN THIS RIFLE. Velocity is 3350. Same load with 140 accubond is 3375. Both bullets have same POI at 100 yds. [/QUOTE]
