[QUOTE="dntfxr77, post: 343930, member: 13450"] Last weekend the temps were in the mid 30sF. I had some .308 reloads with 150bt and r15. According to QL, my hottest loads should have been faster than 2850fps. I was expecting something at least close to that, instead all I could squeeze out was 2666fps from my 20"bbl!!! It was a very good group, but the FPS weren't in the ballpark. That has me stumped??? The only thing I can guess is extreme temp sensitivity? Its my first experience with r15, but I'm not too impressed. BTW, I shot 2 other rifles that day and one showed within 10fps of where it should be, but another with factory ammo was also about 100fps slow. I'm actually hoping someone can shed some light on this. Dntfxr [/QUOTE]
