    Trued MV not even close to Chrono?

    I killed two antelope today with this rifle 397 yards and 421 yards one shot each. Software appears to be good enough for my purposes right now.

    Rifles you have, but don't like.

    I have a H&R handy rifle chambered in 30-06 with the barrel chopped to 16.75"....I only kind of hate it. Every time I shoot it I laugh at how ridiculous it is and cuss it for not ejecting the spent brass.

    Trued MV not even close to Chrono?

    All very interesting. I'll be doing more testing and proofing. As for right now I have data that matches my software and works inside the kill range Im willing to shoot in the field. I know my bullets have sufficient impact velocity at the far end based on previous kills. Work is finally...

    Trued MV not even close to Chrono?

    I essentially have plotted my drop data with this rifle in a similar way as the weaponized math, except it was at random distances. I adjusted my kestrel to match my data points out to 750. As far as knowing my velocity is ballpark correct and tracking on a curve comparable to my kestrel, I...

    So if you do that and you end up substantial different in velocity like I'm seeing, does the AB/Kestrel software track at different conditions? DA has been around 8500, if it goes down to 4500 or up to 12000 will it track? Or at least be close?

    Trued MV not even close to Chrono?

    I have Shooter on my phone and AB on my Kestrel. Between those two I have had pretty decent solutions with minimal work. Just seems like my high velocity stuff 3400fps + always takes more work. My 260, 308, and 6creed have pretty much been plug and play.

    I'm going to need more range time to test this out. I appreciate the help. Definitely closing the gap on the discrepancy.

    Honestly didn't check.

    Trued MV not even close to Chrono?

    I essentially have mapped random distances from 300 to 750. I think I have 15 data points on that curve and 25 data points from my Chrono. Deer season starts Saturday and I'm limited on time. If I'm .1-.2 mil off even at the far end of my kill distance I should be ok. I ran the zip file of...

    I'll give it a try. Thank you. Love velocity for hunting but my range is at about 6500' asl so getting to transonic takes some commitment of time.

    Trued MV not even close to Chrono?

    Possibly an issue but the PVA Cayuga isn't in the AB library. I manually entered the data, g7, length, diameter. I haven't been keeping up with it but is the only way to get a CDM through AB mobile lab?

    Trued MV not even close to Chrono?

    Fair enough. 1300 yards wasn't available the day I was able to test. Would it make that much difference if my data is matching inside my kill range? I'm willing to test it when I have time and conditions. I guess I'm wondering if there is a correlation between measured and trued velocities...

    Trued MV not even close to Chrono?

    It's my hunting rifle, my self imposed killing distance on big game is 600. I trued MV in my kestrel at 600 but have tested out to 750. I treat it as a killing right not as a range rifle. My 25-06AI at 3550fps kinda same deal.

    Trued MV not even close to Chrono?

    Is it common to have a very large difference in trued MV and Chronoed velocity when you really push velocity? I have been shooting 122gr Cayuga's from my 6.5 SS at 3390fps average from 20 shots measured with my labradar. I shot data verification out to 750 and to get my curve to match my...

    Anyone shooting 260Rem in 2022?

    I have a Tikka ctr in 260. Love that thing. Factory barrel is a bit slow but crazy accurate. Just got a new rifle with a 308 and a 6.5creed barrel not sure I want to invest in the 6.5 but the deal was to good.

    Should I rebore a barrel or scrap it?

    http://35caliber.com/ Thier website says $250 for a 3 groove rebore. I don't know if a 338 federal would clean up a 6.5 chamber. In the long run a new pipe might still be a better option. Reboring in my mind is a better option for old rifles you want to keep looking original...... I have a...

    It's a Bighorn Origin, 26" proof 1:8 from Straight Jacket, XLR magnesium, carbon folder, TBAC ultra 7, trigger tech, and a razor HD about 11.5# ready to kill. I need to get a lighter scope, I wanted a lightweight desert hunting rifle in a caliber that would push high bc bullets fast. 6.5SS...

    REMAGE budget build??

    This. If you already have the action and don't plan on doing any upgrades rock and roll. If you want to have a bunch of work done to the action just sell it and buy a custom action. I have a handful of Remage barrels and have been pleased with the results I can get but would much rather have...

    Ruger Hawkeye Compact nice rifle to carry but has been really picky on what loads it'll shoot.
