I get about 2720fps with 54gr of 4350. All rifles vary. Your book should tell you approximate velocity of your loads. If you don't have a book, you need to get one.

thanks, i have a book that does give fps, but sadly no chrony.

was just curious for that specific load data.

Without a chronograph, any numbers are just a guess. It will be an educated guess, but no two rifles will necessarily be within 100 to 150 fps of each other except by luck. I have seen over 100fps difference produced by different powder lots of the same powder.

You can get a rough ballpark figure from others, including manuals, but you won't actually know very much without actually using a chronograph.

Buy a chrony it is one of the single most important tool for precision... Cheers. JP.

It would be cooler if they worked more than once in a row.
