Range Report 168SMK, IMR4064, Lapua, CCI BR2

[Hook Creek]

Thought I would post the results of my favorite load for my .308. I have had close to this load before, bud different brass, and primers. I wanted to find out what my velocity of this load was so I zeroed at 80 yards(thats all I had at time of zero), and shot with that same zero at 250 yards so i can measure the inches that it would drop, then use JBM Ballistics to find the velocity. The drop at 250 yards was "11, so according to JBM the velocity is 2450 fps. This load on my good days is always sub .5 MOA

I have been using that load for years. Never fails to satisfy.

What was your velocity for that load? I have never used a chronograph, I would like to see how my method using JBM really works.
