ORIGINAL: Doe Dumper
I have always been told the listed velocities are not attainable with your average hunting rifle.
Doe Dumper, just to let you know that with most of my loads I was approx. 150 to 200 fps slower then the books for Sierra and Nosler bullets but when it came to the Hornady 139,154 and 162 gr. SST bullets I had reached or was very close to the velocity printed in the Hornady book. They had tested with a T/C Encore 24” barrel and I was using my 22” barrel. Now the pattern on 2 of the 3 bullets wasn’t great but the speed was as printed.
