I thought that also.  I'm also wondering if the chrono might have been set up incorrectly (Dad set it up).

140 grain Nosler Accubond with the 52.5 grains of H4350 - I chronoed at 2850.  I tried Barnes and could get the patterns very tight and they weren't coming across the chrono as fast either.  I tried several different brands of bullet, a few different powders, but when I saw how tight the current combination is, I quit.  I can get them going faster, but my groups start to fall apart.

Im not 100% set on the chronograph numbers. The 130gr Hornadys produced the best group (5 shot, 1.125" group) of the bunch. We had some loaded hotter and cooler, but 56gr of Hogdens 4831 seemed to work the best. Looking at the damage the bullets did to 3/4" plate, I would say they were moving quick.  :chuckle:
