We are going to give a ONE HUNDRED TRILLION Dollar note to the member who makes the closest guess of what the velocity difference is going to be between these 14 rifles.
Velocity Difference between rifles regardless of bullet weight, my guess will be 217 fps. That number has not yet been chosen.

Gentlemen,
I think there is a slight misunderstanding here.
The velocitry differences I am talking about is the same ammo, in different rifles.

My number was based on exactly that assumption.

Saeed,
Would it be to much to ask the 1,000,000,000,000,000 prize be paid in oil?
99fps is the winner...I am ready to collect my prize!

But I've seen them go both ways
And I would rather go out in a blaze of glory
Than to slowly rot away!

boom stickMy guess is 197
Hey, I guessed right
We have the results.
223 velocity testThe largest velocity variation was 197 fps.
And it seems Shakari is the winner.
TerryR and Donner are so close 1ith 196, they will get a consolation prize Z$10,000,000 each.
So Shakari, TerryR and Donner, please send me your mailing address by PM and I will make you all very rich.

I must be reading something wrong? It looks like #8 had an ES of 211fps(3196 v. 3407).

It is all Saeed's fault again. He gave me bad instructions. He said pick the first high number and I did.The he tells me off because he put it all on his post. He is not the judge. I am.
And here I announce 211 fps as winner.
Who has this number?
Post your name, address, telephone number, social security number, party member, age, how many children you have, how many wives you had or have, your birth certificate.And if you are an illegal immigrant in the country of your choice, mention that too. So we don't inform the tax authorities
Saeed is getting mad at me. He said this is the last job he gives me.
He told me that 35 years ago too.

Hot CoreGreat Test!
Just out of interest, I am going to shoot the same ammo in other 223 rifles we have, and post the results.
Also, I am going to look what 308 rifles we have, and might do the same test in these as well.

OK, then, 211 920 fps (thanks MR, I suspect that someone may throw in some extremes on the weights, as I believe SAEED has done to Walterhog on occasion)
Hah!
Looks like I should have stayed with first guess.
With rules and math like this, these two should make excellent Gov't employees.
The extreme difference between all rifles and all rounds looks like it was 3505 max, 2877 min, yielding a difference of 628 FPS.
