[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 763918, member: 48043"] In short, two barrels, two diffedent critters. You are going to roughly replicate the same fps when you get it to pressure. You are also going to use a similar powder besause you are running the same caliber and optimum powders will be similar no matter the barrel. But just because barrel A shoots a bullet at a certain fps at its "optimum accuracy" doesn't mean barrel B will do the same; it will likely be close, but don't try to replicate the old barrel with the new one. Let it be its own or you'll shoot her out before you get a good load. I'm having a bit of this problem with my new 7stw at present; I found out 1/2 of what I was shooting in my old rifle isn't optimum in the new rifle. I've wasted a few hundred rounds playing when I should have shot a few groups and torn any ammo down that didn't immediately perform. [/QUOTE]
