Refer to Brian Pearce’s chronograph data from Guns magazine where he recreated Elmer Keith’s 600 yard mule deer kill. If the ammo he procured was poorly stored and it’s condition degraded, it still averaged a higher velocity than similar contemporary loads by a margin. Would it have been even faster when new/fresh? It’s likely.

Have at it gentlemen. It’s Saturday and I have better things to do this morning.


How much higher? Was the differerence within the normal variation between firearms of the same barrel length. Was it jacketed or lead bullets? What was it?
If lead had the lube the factory use maybe degraded and cause a problem with velocity? Lets get the details. Since you do this for a living and you are famous so call pearce and ask him some pertinent questions.
