[QUOTE="the444shooter, post: 1488966, member: 46"] I bought a Remington 6.5 creedmoor that shoots lights out with 140gr American Gunner factory ammo. The stated velocities are 2690 for a 24" barrel. The gun has a 22" barrel, so I know it might be a tad slower, but the velocities I got from my magnetospeed were 2500-2534 in a 5 shot string. The gun only has about 30-40rds through it so far. How much more can I anticipate the barrel speeding up as it gets broken in? Is 100 fps outlandish to hope for? [/QUOTE]
