[QUOTE="Texas Republic, post: 763790, member: 19878"] Ok. Guys. I have a couple follow up questions on the barrel issue. And its not actually a custom barrel. My Savage 111 338 Lapua was over-chambered, so Savage replaced the barrel. Yeah. Not good. But anyhow..here they are . I FINALLY bought myself a chrono and have done some research on how to use it as a useful reloading tool. The information I read seems to say that if you have a certain pet load that is very accurate, the only information of that load you really need to replicate your results is how fast that same exact bullet is moving down your barrel. This is mainly due to the node and vibration, etc. So in theory, you can switch brass, primers, powders, etc. and still have the same accurate results as long as all of those components togethor replicate the FPS the bullet is moving down the barrel. Am I right in this? Ok. My next part of this question is this....my pet load that I was using with my Savage 338 lapua BEFORE I had a new barrel installed by Savage shot my 300gr bullet at 2658 fps. Would replicating that FPS produce the same accuracy, or is that FPS out the window now that I have a new barrel on the rifle? I think I know the answer, but I am not sure if its the one I want to hear. lol. [/QUOTE]
