    I just checked my 16inch Kimber 7mm08 yesterday with Hornady Whitetail and was only getting 2430fps.....same Chrono used for 22 and 284 so it’s real for this rifle.

    I didn’t think the 7mm08 would drop that much based on other data I had read.

    Will need to speed up a little to get a 400yard over 1000ft pound
