whereas the Eld's in the howa are about 1150... 2510 ft/s, definitely trans-sonic.
according to my strelok.
With 16" I couldn't get there, maybe 1100 or so w/ Eld's.
A5 you got a speed demon for that 16er, hang on to it.
Thank you sir.
At first I thought it was I didn't have the Caldwell set up correctly but we tested some loads in the range owners rifle and it was within 5fps of where his loads are known to be.
My GB green mountain barrel seems to have good speed as well it shots the same factory eld-m ammo at 2592 average fps.
I had never entered the info for my 16 in to 1000 yards before because I felt it wasn't enough and it really isnt not at my altitude but decided to see what it said. When the OP said his number was around 800fps, I know that didn't sound right.
I don't plan on trying my 16 out to 1000 but was more curious what the numbers were compared to what the OP had gotten.
