[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 950762, member: 69478"] Oh man that's a bummer. I don't know why guys would lie about what their velocity is. I know every rifle is different, but 300fps is extreme, I can understand 50fps difference but not much more. You may luck out and your rifle shoots that load very fast. I know I was surprised when I first tested the load I use in my .270 Win. I have an older standard Model 700 ADL with 22" and when I first started really getting into reloading and long range shooting I worked up a load for it. I settled with 56grs of IMR 4831 and according to the manuals it should of gone around 2950fps with the 140gr I use but I managed to average just over 3000fps and they had 2" more barrel than me! This velocity isn't a fluke with the chrony either, my range card matches everything the ballistics program says. So you may luck out like I did and have a very good barrel and chamber that puts out those high velocities. [/QUOTE]
