Default Has anybody chrono'd 100 gr T7

I find 100gr of T7 to be a load that is comfortable for me to shoot. Has anyone Chorographed 100 gr T7 with 250 gr bullet in an Omega? It would be interesting to see what kind of muzzle velocity I am getting. Any thoughts onwhat the speed would be using 110 - 120 gr T7.

This is the most informative forum I have ever used. I know sabotloader has bailed me on at least 3 occasions There is a wealth of info and experience on this forum!!

If I remember.. 1850 fps is the velocity of that 100 grain load. As for the 120 grain load, I would GUESS it is around 2000+ fps. Either way, that is a lot of power.
