[QUOTE="winmag, post: 373140, member: 22166"] We all want to beat the stated fps on the box with our handloads. Maybe its human nature. But as stated, and re stated,and stated again, Factory ammo is labled to make brand x look better than brand y. The ammo makers do this on purpose, in labs, under Ideal conditions for thier brand, and then run a calculation to average thier boosted numbers. Just take the printed lable fps as most likely inflated, and just a rough estimate of what it would be under ideal conditions. WAY too many factors to get brand x to shoot the printed velocity. Its always fun to check it against a chronny tho, so you can see what roll-your-owns do against the factory stuff. Usually makes you feel better about your handloads. For me anyway:D [/QUOTE]
