Thread: Is my batch of 8208 really slow?

Thanks Mathias, the rifle came with a few of the targex 80 grainers which it seems to quite like, seems overkill to be shooting mostly hares with though. Will add the 52's to the list to try.

3200 seems what most people are reporting, maybe I've got a really slow barrel. Or a dud chrono, the expected drop at range seems about right for my velocity though
