velocity

Hey all, A few years back I bought a 16 inch 6.5 Grendel upper. Ended up not really shooting it much because of ammo and other stuff, and decided I would take it out and shoot it to make some brass this weekend, now that I have a press and dies and chrono etc. So I set up my target and...

Struggled to find popular 308 win Match loading velocities in a 16 inch gasser, so here’s a day’s worth of data collection. Hornady 168 Amax Black: 2505 u / 2527 s Federal GMM 168 SMK: 2425 u / 2425 s FGMM 175 SMK: 2414 u / 2441 s FGMM 185 Berger Jug: 2440 u / 2441 s IMI 175 OTM: 2257 u / 2325...

Let's try this again now that I have deployed my first "Ignore" EVER for a member on a gun forum. I think the Garmin Xero C1 is great! Share your experiences and recommendations for improvement. I have been sending in the recommendations to Garmin. For another topic of discussion: What will...

I went to the range on Saturday to do some testing with StaBALL Match with my 24” Savage .308 Win. This range trip I was only looking at velocity by powder charge weight. I decided not to measure group size on this trip given I use a MagnetoSpeed chronograph which hangs on my barrel. My...

New here so obligatory apologies if this is in the wrong place. I recently had a Carbon6 barrel made in 6.5 PRC for an old trued 700 short action. 22” 1:7.5 twist, button rifled. It shoots lights out, several groups at 1/4” during break in and sight in. 123 rounds down the pipe as of right now...

Pretty cool test my buddy and I conducted with his 300 Win Mag this week. We used a sawzal and hacksaw to cut the rifle from 24in down to 16in. Funny shit, damn did this rifle take a beating. The AI stock and Leupold held up to a ton of abuse. I was sitting on the rifle while he hacked away...

Just wondering if there is a gain or loss when adding a supressor to a 30 cal. rifle On average what do others find as FPS gain or loss. Thanks in advance.

I have been loading 97 gr of h1000 shooting 300gr sierra in lapua brass. My velocity is around 2950fps. Accuracy is ok but I have slight ejector marks. should i back down the load? Is anyone else using h1000 in thier 338 lapua

My chrony is down. I know, buy a new one!!! Someone help me out until I get one. Specs: 26" factory Rem tube, 1-10" twist. Win brass, BR2 primers, 65.4 grs of RE17, 185 Bergers. Whatcha think? Come ups is telling me it's around 3050 fps.

Having a little brain fade. Does anyone have the formula handy to convert Instrumental velocity to muzzle velocity? Oehler's program has it but with a fairly new computer & I can't find the disc. Seems to me that it was something like 25 fps for the chrono being 15ft. from the actual muzzle...

I have found one accuracy node for my 6.5x47mm Lapua using Berger 130g VLDs. Since they are on back-order, I've decided to test some Hornady 140g A-Maxs. The accuracy node for these A-Max rounds happens to be the same velocity as the 130g Bergers. More powder of course, but the same velocity...

I tried my hand at annealing yesterday and I think it turned out pretty good. I had some 6.5-284 brass that had been reloaded 7 times and I had started getting a few split necks so I figured what the heck, the cases weren't going to be any good anyway. Went to range today and I picked up 30 fps...

I am going to WY to shoot some prairre dogs and I am borrowing my bosses AR-50 I need to know the MV of lake city 660 gr. and the BC if you know it Thanks

I know this is going to sound stupid, but would anyone have an idea at a rough MV for this .308 load? BH brass 175 SMK 42.6gr Varget federal primer COAL 2.808 shot out of a 1/10 24" Hart barrel I know I need to get a chornographer, and I hope to get one once I have a steady flow of income...

Went to the Range today to use their Chrono. I was wondering what everyone else is getting for muzzle velocity using the stock 1-10 twist barrel with federal 168gr Match?

TO clarify my question, I'm dropping a "minimum recommended" powder charge as starting point, But my measured velocities are almost at the maximum. I;m trimming cases to .008 under "sierra" manual. Should I be concerned about bullet depth (OAL)? I'm not sure where to look. Thanks

I don't have a chonograph so I was hoping sombody might be able to give me some average velocities for Fed GMM 168grn out of an 18" barrel. Or possibly give me an idea of how much velocity is lost going from say a 24" barrel to 18"? Thanks for your help.

Is it common for the speed of a bullit to slow down as the barrel gets more fouled as you shoot? I started my first string of 5 and averaged 2990fps with my .243,115 Dtacs, 2 strings later I was averaging 2960 and 2 strings after that I was averaging 2930.

I'm hoping someone out there is shooting Hornady factory 168 grain A-max or A-max TAP out of a 20" barrel. I'd like to know the average velocity. Thank you

Is it possible that a load with less powder 42.8 H4350 vs. 43. would give a greater velocity. And if so why would this be?
