Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has any data on this round out os a similar barrel? I'm looking for things like muzzle velocity and drop over certain distances. I know this will very from rifle to rifle, but I was hoping for some real world numbers that may be closer than what I found on the packaging.
For reference, I'm shooting:
CMMG Mk3 T
16" Barrel 1:10 twist
It really depends on many things, IE The ammo. And you can guess a one to two hundred feet a second less than whats on the box. You will still be fine for hunting inside 500 yards for deer sized animals.
What gun are you shooting?
exactly what ammo?
What are you hunting?
You will be fine
