I just chronographed some Nosler trophy grade 308 ammo. I'm getting 220 feet/sec less than I'm supposed to. My barrel is only 1.56 inches shorter than the test barrel. What's going on?

Headspace

Rifling Engagement

Barrel Length

sounds about right, tree fiddy doe

>>31073641
There is nothing wrong with my headspace or rifling. I am getting sub moa groups. I could understand losing 25 fps per inch of barrel, but this is absurd.

>>31073611
Is this one of those threads where we mock you for overpaying for overpriced shit, or is it one of the threads where we assume the problem is obvious and mock you for being inept? I'm confused.
>>
Are you using the same type of gun they did or something different?
Bolt gun/Bolt gun
OR
Semi/Semi
Not sure exactly how much velocity semis absorb for the action but that could be it.
>>
Barrel speeds increase as they wear in as well. If the gun has 200 rounds through it, it isn't unheard of to (depending on caliber, barrel length, material etc. so on and so forth) gain anywhere from 100-300 more fps
>>

Ambient temperature and altitude are factors to consider as well
>>
>>31073611
sounds about right. 1" = 100 fps more or less in many .308 loads, depending on powder.
>>
>>31073659
just because there's nothing wrong with your headspace or throat or rifling engagement doesn't mean it's not simply difference from the test barrel

velocity testing is basically estimated witchcraft, and they try to exaggerate velocities any way they can, because people just buy whatever has the higher fps

only company I'm aware of that only publishes tests in real world firearms is Buffalo Bore

OP what is your rifle and barrel in question?

That's what I like about ballistics by the inch. They have all the test barrle stuff AND firearm tests
