I have a Browning X-bolt hells canyon speed in 6.5 creedmoor and will be taking it out to CO for my first pronghorn hunt. I'm fairly new to long range shooting and no ranges near me in California allow shooting beyond 100yds, so I haven't been able to validate my rifle's dope with Barnes Vor-TX 120gr TTSX BT by shooting at range. Without a chrono is there any good way of estimating muzzle velocity for my 22" barrel? The Barnes box advertises 2910FPS, but I'm assuming that's out of a longer barrel.
I was able to take an axis deer out in Lanai, HI but as that was only a 225 yard shot, I just held a smidge high (with a 100yd zero). Seeing as the pronghorn hunt may be stretching it out a bit further than 200 yards I'd like to have some good estimate for muzzle velocity to plug into the Strelok app to develop a dope chart. This doesn't need to be perfect, just need to be minute of deer (or antelope) out to say 300-350.
Any help is appreciated!
