Those of you that shoot one, what speeds are you getting with a short barrelled .243? Specifically interested in the lighter bullet weights-85/87gr, but any info welcomed. Also, is the velocity you state where is shoots most accurately, or are you sacrificing a bit of accuracy for power?
Getting 3050 from an 18 inch T3 with 85gr interbonds. 1/2 inch groups at a hundy
How hot are those loads?Quote:

2960FPS measured on Magnetospeed (This velocity seems correct based on drop at longer range)
Grouping is 0.6" off a bipod
Does simmilar with the 87gr VMAX, but the sierras are cheaper and shoot straight through a red even at 10m.
Im selling this now though as im switching to a 16" takedown and shooting subs.
Not as hot as the ones that were doing 3200 before they got tamed down a bitQuote:
