    Factory ammo speed variations

    Today I took two packets of hornady precision hunter ammo to the range. 1 purchased about 1 month ago (gold primers)and one a couple of days ago (silver primers).

    The original packet has been cruising along nicely at 2903 fps. I chronied them side by side today and ended up with 113fps different. The new packet chronied at 2790fps which seems a big difference. I know it only made a 4 inch difference in drop at 500yards but shows you how repeatable factory ammo can be.
