How reliable are printed velocities in practice?
Do many of you check actual velocity for factory and/or home brewed loads?
What is the typical variations one could expect from factory and home brew?
I chronographed some .223 Rem in a 20" bbl. My average Velocity was 3215 F/S +-30. (Sierra #1365, 55gr SBT. 26.0gr of AR 2206H{H4895})
Is this a reasonable velocity spread or should I look at trying to improve my reloading procedures?
PS. Hi its been a while since my last post. life gets busy, I am getting lots of opportunity to get out in the paddock and trow lead around. Also get to introduce lots of first time shooters to the sport. Small groups/couples and familys etc. I am lucky to have access to 300,000 acres at my back door and a selection of rifles.
