[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 357356, member: 2736"] It could be a case of "TALL TAILS"or simply the wrong velocity numbers. Some barrels shoot faster than others buy up to 100 ft/sec and this could skew the numbers. Not all high pressure loads show typical pressure signs. I think it is all of the above.(Wrong velocity,poor measurements,high pressure load, tall tails or maybe the wrong yardage numbers. It is hard to say how he came up with those numbers . Over the years I have heard many tall tails of how flat someones rifle shot and normally It was over estimating the yardage (A 500yard shot that was really under 300yards). I my self witnessed this with a well respected guide after making a good 600yrd + shot that he swore to all was over 900 yards. (Who was I to correct him in front of everyone) But I knew because I ranged it several times before and after the shot.(We did not have range finders back then) and there was some guessing and stepping off the distance. So I would say Don't Believe every thing you hear ! J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
