    Chronograph velocity 175fps slower than box

    I dont know what kind of chrono it was, it was a friends. I like the tape idea, I have my moa data I could Transfer that to tape and continue to shoot to verify it is accurate before getting the cds.

    Chronograph velocity 175fps slower than box

    Ok glad to know the 175fps is not a worry. I have been using my ballistic program and do see how at longer ranges it can make a big difference. I definitely don’t want a round 100fps faster than what I am planning for.

    Chronograph velocity 175fps slower than box

    I have probably shot 200-250 rounds through it so far. I have been happy with how the hornady ammo groups but I also did not like the one round at 2736 fps. If that was an anomaly and I remove it, the 5 shot group varies by 49fps. I will shoot some more through and also try some different...

    Chronograph velocity 175fps slower than box

    the tikka has a 22.4 in barrel. I believe the box test data is from a 24 inch barrel. I do not have plans to hand load right now. It’s something I may do in the future but don’t have any equipment for it now.

    Chronograph velocity 175fps slower than box

    I am shooting a tikka t3x in 7mm-08 using hornady American whitetail ammo. Yesterday I shot through a chronograph and found it to be about 175fps slower than the published box data of 2840fps. Is this something to worry about or evaluate further? I shot 6 times with the following velocities...

    Kudos to Swarovski

    I finally got a pair of swaros last year and was able to use them quite a bit. Worth the price paid.

    turkey shotgun

    I use a sbe 2 with longboard xr. I leave a Burris fast fire mounted to a picatinny rail. 4 screws attaches rail to gun for turkey season. A couple shots to re zero, it’s always really close and ready to go. Then take it off after season.

    Knife Setup

    Havalon and a sharpened pocket knife(not a high end knife). I use The pocket knife for the tough areas skinning and if I need a stiffer knife while quartering. Havalon works for the precise cuts. I carry a pocket knife anyways so make it double duty, better than carrying a second fixed blade...

    Truck Topper to buy or not to buy

    Hauling/stacking wood under a topper while possible is a real pain. Crawling around stacking wood takes forever. I leave my topper on year round for dry safe storage and a great place for dog kennels. Use a trailer for wood/atv.
