X-Bolt 2 Speed SPR 7mm PRC speeds

[pokes15]

I put together an X-Bolt 2 Speed SPR in 7mm PRC. I don't have access to a chrono, and I don't really want to purchase one for what would be very limited use. However, a poster on here @House21 posted some time ago with the same gun using the same ammo (Federal 175 ELD-X) averaging 2780fps. Would it be safe to assume that my gun would be in same ballpark speed wise?

No - I’d rent or borrow one. Identical guns with identical ammo can vary significantly. Every barrel is different.

Where you located, may be a fellow Rokslide close by that can loan you a chrono.

This is an opinion so treat it as such. It depends on how far you are planning to shoot. If you are staying within 400 yards and have a 200 yard zero, I would bet you will be fine. If you are planning to shoot much further, I would chrono.
