I've only zeroed it at 100m but it is making 1 hole groups with the Hornady 120 AMAX loads and running about 2750fps. The 140 factory AMAX load goes 2550. I'm kinda done with long barrels.
Interesting.
Looking at some ballistics tables, the difference between your 18" barrel (140 @ 2550) and a more typical "long" barrel (140 @ 2950) is worth about 225 yards.
"Looking at some ballistics tables," eh? Wow, I wish I'd thought of doing that before now! I'll bet I could've saved myself four decades of actually shooting schidt to figure things out. TFF.
Edited to say... Rock on, Tennessee. Enjoy your new rig. Just don't consult ballistic tables as you might be disappointed.
What's the sarcasm about, did you have a bad day?
Or are you just trying to point out you're too old to learn anything from a drop chart?
I shoot stuff to figure things out too, FWIW. My 2950 fps number came from other people shooting the Creedmoor though, I don't have one, but am interested in reading about what they can do, whether that's long or short barrels. Not bashing the OP.
