Rifle Test & Review: Bergara B14 squared Crest

[ShallowMinded14]

I have the B-14 Squared Crest in 6.5 PRC and am only getting 2,750 fps at the muzzle. Has anyone else put a chronograph on their gun?

I am also having cold bore vs hot bore accuracy issues with mine......

What load are you shooting? I settled on Hornady ELD-X 143’s in this rifle with an average velocity of 2762 fps.

I am using the same load as you and am around the same velocity. However, approximately 2,800 fps is 6.5 Creedmore speed. Not the 3k that was advertised in the 6.5 PRC

The advertised velocity of the Precision hunter ammunition is 2960 with a 24” barrel. With a loss of 50 fps per inch of barrel length …the velocity is pretty much spot on.
