[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 511056, member: 5302"] If your barrel's bore/groove diameters are larger than what the test barrel used in developing your load data, that same load in your barrel will shoot bullets slower; often much slower. The opposite's the case if your barrel's tighter than the test one. And if you ever chronograph your loads then let a buddy shoot them in your rifle, he may get up to 100 fps more or less velocity than you do as it's held atop a bench. It's all on how hard one pulls the rifle back into their shoulder. I personally don't think folks should be so concerned about getting their bullets to the target as fast as possible. I think it's more important to have them all arrive pretty close to the same place. Few, if any of us will ever see the difference afield down range if a bullet arrives a tiny bit slower, or faster.
