Someone may find this interesting.....
I shot a 10-shot string earlier through a custom 700 with a 26" Shilen 1-9". The average velocity was 2515 FPS with a SD of 7.6 . The high was 2525 FPS and the low was 2504 FPS. A MagnetoSpeed was used for the testing.
I will take it out to 1000 yards on Friday and will do my best to follow up the post with any relevant data.
The plan is to cut the barrel back 1" at a time while documenting the velocity at each length. Not sure how far back I plan on going as I want to keep it a "reasonable" length.
