So true, but the ones who cry the most are not rifle shooters. Its the speed freaks bow shooters, who I see get huffy and puffy, and says, "its wrong". They really are expecting 315fps from thier brand new Allegience or whatever is hot that year.

I think they should give you a box of tissue's when the sell you a chrony.

That's the whole reason why you make a "feel good" arrow.. ultralight carbon, short as possibleand a 90 gr head, same thing they use when giving you that estimated fps in the catalogs.
I stupidly sold my crono when I package sold all my archery stuff awhile back. NOW that I want to reload, I will have to get another one a bit down the road.

RE: Nosler handload velocities
I have not chronographed that specific Nosler load, but in chronographing their loads for the 175-grain bullet in the 7mm Rem. Mag., I have found the given velocities in their manual to be on the order of 150-200 FPS HIGHER than they actually are, in my rifle. I had to use 71 grains of IMR 7828 to get 3050 FPS from the 175-grain bullet in my Ruger 1B with a 26" barrel. I get 3350 FPS with the 140-grain bullet using 71.5 grains of OLD ORIGINAL Hodgdon surplus military H4831, and have not used any more recent 140-grain loads.
These days, I shoot the 175 grain exclusively - it doesn't ruin as much meat!
