[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2846501, member: 313"] I don't discount the Barnes data, I used it myself. But my experience implies that their velocity may be hard to obtain. I'd expect a velocity loss to be about 25 fps/per inch. MY barrel is 5.5" shorter than the barrel they used (24") but it doesn't explain the nearly 500fps difference that I saw. My loads were all shot over a LabRadar. In review of my notes, the average velocity was closer to 2,300, but the max that I saw was 2,330 fps. I would expect a 250 Hammer to get slightly more velocity than a competing 250gr mono. FWIW - I used shortened 45-70 cases so that the pointed mono would feed through the action. [/QUOTE]
