Hey guys,
I just bought a Leupold CDS for my .308,
Obviously Leupold will need the muzzle velocity of my 165 gr. Nosler Accubond to engrave my elevation turret, along with the other particulars about my setup to get as accurate of a calculation as they can. My question is do I really need to buy a chronograph to get my muzzle velocity? Or can I use the velocity provided on the box of ammo?
Take into consideration that I only plan on taking shots up to 500yds with this rifle. As far as Im concerned, if I can hit a 8inch circle at 500yds that will be plenty good for what I plan on doing with the rifle.
