[QUOTE="Stgraves260, post: 1874713, member: 19988"] I’ve been reading on hear and there is a lot of people claiming 2950 FPS in their 6.5CM. I have a 6.5 CM with a 26” barrel and I’m only getting in the 2700 FPS range. I’ve even been down to a 1000 yards rang in Mingus Texas. It’s called Tac Pro. There is quit a few people shooting 6.5 CM. Everyone I meet there who shoots the CM claims 2950. Good thang I have a Magneto Speed Chronograph. I let a few people use it to test their claimed FPS. Well guess what. Only 1 6.5 CM came close to the 2950 FPS. It had a 29” Bartlein 5R Barrel. It was clocked at 2920 FPS. That gentleman was claiming almost 3100 FPS cause of the 29” barrel. So then we ran our guns through a ballistics calculator. Guess what again. Nobody’s dope was hitting the target. The bullets were not even making it to the 800 yard range. LoL!!!! Everyone was asking me why was I hitting the target. I said cause I’m shooting a 260 Remington w/ 140 grain Berger’s, and I really am knocking on the 3000 FPS. I’m getting 2990 ish. I have a 27” Krieger barrel. I also have a Cosine indicator for the angle correction cause we are all shooting slightly down hill. Nobody was putting the angle in their ballistics calculator so it made their 6.5 CM look faster. LoL!!!!! Guess that’s the difference between a hunter and a bench shooter. [/QUOTE]
