[QUOTE="Blacktailer, post: 1733836, member: 111306"] Your loads will be different than the book because you are shooting a different rifle and as Lance said above, there are many variables. As Capt Barbossa said in Pirates Of The Caribbean "Har, they be more like guidelines". It is more important that you place your chrono far enough that it is not affected by muzzle blast and placed the same each time you use it. For example with my old Oehler, the first screen is set 10ft from the muzzle and the second is at 20ft so I am reading velocity 15ft from the muzzle. It never matches book values but I can see how my loads compare to book values and more importantly to each other. [/QUOTE]
