I have many manuals and by and large they are fairly comparable with their findings. Some companies might favor a caliber over another and have more data published but for the most part velocity variance between them is fairly close. *
* EXCEPT
Berger...
Berger seems lower on pretty much all offerings across the board. Not just a little bit but in some instances a significant amount.
Could it be the Berger bearing surfaces are simply that much longer than other companies bullet offerings thus having more resistance traveling down the bbl slowing the bullet down?
I know these are all "guides" and done in controlled environments but most modern data is really close to what I see on the Chrono.
Nosler as example is literally under 1% difference than what I see with the exact model of their data.
I've yet to really spend any time with Berger so I can't speak to what my velocity findings are versus their published data....
what say you?
