Factory spec is 3,250 fps. Assume that's from a 24" barrel? Assume 3,300 fps with a 26" "Evil is powerless if the good are unafraid" -- Ronald Reagan "Ignorance of The People gives strength to totalitarians." Want to make just about anything work better? Keep the government as far away from it as possible, then step back and behold the wonderment and goodness. | ||

I guess I need to chrony it. I think it's running faster, not slower. It always surprises about how high it shoots even when sighting in with all the right specs, etc. I thought I read about some guys seeing 100-150 fps more on the Remington 300 RUM factory loads versus the published data.

Well, I can't speak about the 180,s, but I've chronographed the Rem Green box 150 Sciroco's out of a 26" Sendero: At 55 degrees we averaged 3417 fps. At 90 degress we averaged 3534 fps. They would shoot 5 shots in 3/4 inch, and left light ejector marks. | |||

I ran some last year over the chrono and the 180 scirocco were doing 3200 at 15 feet with a 60 degree day. This was fron a standard 26" factory barrel. | |||

Temperature always makes a big difference. Anyone who says otherwise hasn't done very much chronographing. | |||
