[QUOTE="BlackKnight755, post: 501184, member: 25675"] Oh, I forgot to answer your question as to the why my 32'' barrel and your 26" barrel are running about the same fps, and the answer is I don't really know. It could be the difference in the OAL, how the bullet is situated in the bore (seated in the lands or jumping) or even the difference in the chamber and or the neck. I guess it could be one or more of many different variables. Without sitting down with both rifles and measuring the chambers on both I couldn't really even begin to guess the reason though. I guess yours is just one of the chamber dimension combinations that really works out of what is a a short barrel to me. ...Also I just went back and read the info and data that you posted about the 130 berger vs the 140 berger and you were stating the 140 had around 4" less wind drift than the 130. Thats another reason that I chose the 140, if I am able to "cheat" the wind out of 4" of drift then all the better. I have always been more concerned about the windage more so than the elevation. I can always put another couple of clicks in the elevation for a known yardage and I may not have to be as worried about being spot on when it comes to guessing the wind speed and direction. [/QUOTE]
