    Bill999 liked post by grandpamac On thread : 284 win vs 280ai

    Magnetite liked post by grandpamac On thread : 6.5x55 SE Sanity Check
    Greetings Magnetite, Looks like your rifle gives a little more velocity than mine with your selection of components. I note that you are using a suppressor which some suggest gives more velocity so...
