[QUOTE="skeeterboud, post: 927260, member: 40249"] yes, i'm comparing same length barrels, and switching primers doesn't really alter the results. i shoot alot of weatherby stuff, and i find that their published velocities are spot on.... as a matter of fact, when i shot the 150gr sp 270wb, the 3 shot average was exactly 3245, the published vel!! i definitely agree on the barrel specs, as i can shoot my 300 winmag sendero 180gr vortex factory ammo and it's is always 30-50fps faster that what my xcr tact l/r is. but the fact remains, not ONE load that i have fired has met or exceeded the published velocities. not for a 22-250 nosler or hornady loads, 300 win mag nosler loads(two rifles), 222 remington hornady or nosler, 257 hornady loads, 7mmRem nosler, etc. most of them fall 150-200fps shy does crimping increase velocity? seems like it could, but i have yet to crimp anything [/QUOTE]
