 The thought was that the extra 2" of barrel was responsible for the 200+ feet per secound difference between the two rifles.Well I did my home work and ran the calculations. Being an engineer I can do that, you see.  Not attributing any loses do to friction or heat transfere the most these two 22-250s could differ was 97fps.the other 125 ft/sec. or so came from some where else. Could I have made a mistake? Yes, but not to any large degree.  rogerOld age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone.. | |||

Who cares? I always want to know what MY rifle is giving me for a velocity... not what someone else's is giving him..... when testing 15 different powders in a 6mm Rem with a 75 grain HP Hornady bullet... the most accurate load, was with 47.5 grains of H 414.... however on chronographing it, I found that it also had the greatest velocity spread of any of the loads! 150 to 175 fps standard deviation.. I just load it and shoot it, and out to 300 meters, the groups just keep being small and itty bitty.. so what is to worry about??? | |||

You are right, John*** Who cares.  rogerOld age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone.. | |||
