Not exact but my 16.5” gets a 73 eld going 2775fps and a 77 tmk about 2730fps. 23.5gr of xbr

What COAL?

I have a 16” Ruger American Ranch in 556 that I have estimated the velocity to be at roughly 2700fps with my Omega on it, shooting Black Hills 77gr OTM. I am between 6800-1000’ of elevation where I live/hunt/shoot. So far that estimation has proven to be dead on out to 600yds for me.

What COAL?

I don’t recall exactly but short enough to fit in a factory tikka mag, I’d guess 2.27ish

Have not tried handloads yet.

Following up. Tested out my SBR load and came up with 2708 using 23.9gr TAC and 77TMK. 16.5" Tikka with Scythe.

Shot 4, adjusted the scope, shot 6 more. 2.5-12.5 Accupoint so not exactly a precision scope. Pleased with the results.
