[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1687380, member: 27307"] Holycity73, Congratulations on finding a diamond in the rough! In the interest of deriving the most information possible, I have a couple of questions for you. Here is the specification section of the advertising segment for the ammunition you mention from the MidwayUSA.com website: [ATTACH=full]144317[/ATTACH] Under Muzzle velocity they state 2,690 fps. Did you happen to check this with a chronograph when you were shooting? I'm curious as to why they chose such a low velocity especially when Berger loads a similar bullet and same weight at 2,850 fps? The obvious answer is 'that's where they discovered an accuracy node'. And there are probably economic reasons as well. I've shot a lot of 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition and a ton of reloads, most in the velocity range of 2,850 fps and some higher with a couple approaching 3,000 fps from very long barrels.:eek:;) Now I'm curious as to what more you found out.:) [/QUOTE]
