[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 1894221, member: 93895"] I've never saw 200 fps es. I have a prochrono. Make sure you have it far enough away from the muzzle. I keep mine about 35 ft away. The prochrono is probably like all other optical chronos, finicky depending on light. Late in the evening it can lie. It doesn't like being in the shade and can also lie early in the morning. Also, physically check your twist rate. Factory twist rates are notorious for being wrong and can be grossly wrong. 180gr accubond nosler loaded ammunition was the best shooting ammo bar non in my old 300 win mag. It was supposed to be 10 twist but was an 11 twist. The 208 eld has been the least finicky bullet I have ran in big 30 cals. Last bit of advice : big heavy 200 grain & up bullets in a sporter weight 300 win mag can be alot to manage & require perfect recoil management. [/QUOTE]
