[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 978160, member: 52437"] I have several threads going on about different issues so I apologize about the different threads. My other thread is concerning a 3006 load I have developed using a barnes 168gr ttsx under 50grains imr4064 using winchester primers. I measured it with my chrono and got 2550fps. My barnes manual states it should be at 2800fps. I know my barrel is a shorter mountain barrel but I did not expect to be so low. Does this sound right? I shot a factory remington corelokt 165gr and that got 2675 (they advertise 2800fps). I am wondering if my chrono is off or if it is my barrel really causing this slow speed? Barrel length is 22inches Also do any of you try and go beyond book max load recommendations? if so, what is your process. thanks! also people say use your chronograph when approaching max loads and such...I am confused at what a chronograph is telling you other than speed.
