Do a search on factory .300 velocities. Most will tell you 2980 or less. Shot it through a chony with a 24 inch barrel and you will get a hair over 2900.I rely on what my chrono tells me after 10 years and 3, 300 win mags.....I can't see new factory ammo to be that far behind? Here is the first premium ammo I looked up (Okay, not the first, but it helps my side of the argument :300 WIN MAG 180 GR Spire Point HEAVY MAG 8500 Velocity (fps) / Energy (ft-lbs) Muzzle 100 yd 200 yd 300 yd 400 yd 500 yd 3100/3840 2872/3296 2655/2817 2448/2396 2251/2025 2063/1701 Trajectory (inches) Muzzle 100 yd 200 yd 300 yd 400 yd 500 yd -1.5 1.40 0.00 -6.3 -18.4 -37.4 That being said, you are right in the fact that custom ammo can be faster than factory.....I have not chrono'ed every brand of factory ammo (or any factory ammo for that matter), so I can't argue with you. But, I will argue with the mentality of someone buying a .300 win mag and going with a 24" pipe and strictly shooting factory ammo? Like putting a governor on a sports car - you buy magnum rifles for maximum capability - high performance is what you want, if not, you'd shoot a naught 6. Too much golfing and drinking today, so if this doesn't make any sense - please disregard How many did you find first that said less than 3000 be honest.

Do I really need to explain? You said the worst are the .264's. I love them.
