I recently noticed that my new rifle is quite a bit under the velocity I expected. Curious to know if anyone else is seeing the same or has any input.
Rifle is a Browning X-Bolt 2 Speed SPR, 20 inch barrel, Silencerco Harvester suppressor, shooting Hornady 147gr ELD-Ms. Last week I finally backed up from shooting 10-shot 100 yard groups and shot at 200 and 300 yards and had drops of 4.7" and 16.1" respectively. Punching in the data and environmentals, the velocity matched drop at around 2500 fps. I was expecting 2750 fps or so initially from what others were seeing. Is that out of the realm of what you'd expect? Just a really slow box from Hornady? I could most likely borrow a chrono from a buddy in a week or two if needed to confirm.
