I know the other, very experienced hunters, and Uber consultants on here have more than likely said what I am about to say.
Shooting to 600 yds is an extremely long distance. No matter which caliber and rifle combo. Hunting in Wyoming is several variables in itself. The area you will be...
That’s outstanding!
I’ve heard from friends and have seen similar results from StaBall powder, especially in the compact and highly efficient cases like the 6.5CM and hopefully the .308 as well.
Has anyone done any experimenting with factory ammo and the true velocities they get compared to factory published velocities?
Are there any brands or brand of ammo makers that live up to their published velocities?
What about hand loading? Can I expect to get close to published velocities of...

I didn’t have a bag to rest at the rear of the stock, so I improvised and used an old rolled up towel that I had laying around, and when I was shooting, I did the shooters 3 point stance at the bench.

My question is this, the factory velocities are from a 24 inch minimum spec barrels with, I’m thinking, 1 in 12 inch twists. What kind of velocities can I expect...
