I've just completed a load for my AR, 1-7 18" Douglas barrel. I used 24 gr Varget with a Nosler 69 gr comp bullet. Yesterday was the first time I ran it through my new Chrony and it seemed a bit slow. I'm getting around 2619 fps avg. I was hoping it'd be a bit faster.
Is what I'm trying to get at is this. Do you settle on a little less velocity if it's shooting well for you? Or do you compromise a bit on the accuracy for that added velocity. All it's realistically going to be used for is punching paper and the like. And for now I'm only shooting out to 200 yards.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
