i would have voted 25-06 but not up there then i guess 22-250 would be my next choice but they do need a bit more powder than a 223 so thats why i chose 223 an awesome off the shelf all round varmit rifle i just been out testing some 55gr v-max loads not pin point accurate but at 100m where 1.5 inch group traveling at 3600-3700 fps SMOKIN :o
25/06 with 75 grn vmax goin faaast would be hard to beat to 400ish woukdnt hesitate to drop a deer with it either. Used to use that load on goats it was impressive to say the least the hares didnt much like it either

First choice - suppressed 223 with 60g NBT for calm conditions, and a heavy 7mmsaum with 162 A-Max's for when its blowing like a cheap hooker.
3700fps in a .223 or .22-250 Jonesy?Quote:

Smiddy gave me a stack of 50gr Vmax and with the same powder and charge were around 3380. Velocities were over a CED2 I never re use my brass as it was perked and I doubt I will get thru it all, anytime soon.
3700 is smoking. Who needs. .22-250 Ha Ha.

Maybe that's the first bad review of the super chrony?
I dont know anything about them but knowing it works off sound I would think it was critical to ensure the chrony is level or at least the projectile is traveling over each of the sensors at an even distance.Quote:

it was set up according to the instructions
im sure that they wouldnt release a product onto the market without severe testing 1st
it surely wasnt out of whack testing other rifles today
303 was doin 2600fps factory highland 180grs
my 300wm was doin 3600 fps 168gr amaxs
Ok. Something is not right tho. 3600 for a 168 out of a .300wm and 3700 for 55 out of a .223 is way faster than what would be expected, no?
