[QUOTE="TOM H, post: 505774, member: 306"] I think setting how far from muzzle to chronograph should be in the instruction for your chronograph if you don't have that give them a call. I have the Oehler 35p and the distance on mine is 10ft. I wasn't overly impressed with the velocity in the Kreiger 1/9 twist 25.5" long barrel 280AI with 150gr TSX but it is a very accurate load. My wife likes that rifle so didn't get alot of load testing with that 280AI. I got a new 280AI last summer used a 27" long Lilja 1/9 twist barrel had it throated alittle longer and I figured that rifle should do 3000fps plus with 160gr bullets and it's done that with R-17 and IMR-7828ssc good accuracy with both powers. I have some Berger 168gr VLD I want to try in that rifle now that weather getting better and I figure in the 3000fps range with those bullet. I like to get my accuracy first then chronograph just works best for me that way just one less thing I have to worry about. I load at the range so if I get a good load I'll come back shoot it at different yardage and I may shoot it for a week or two get comfortable with the rifle and load. I have more than one rifle so didn't bother me not getting everything done on the 280AI last year. wish I could be of more help [/QUOTE]
