Estimating velocity from dope.270win
I have a cds cap needing to get set up. I have landed on the classic load of 60 gr of H4831. Took to the range today on shoot 50, 100, and 200 yards. The thought is if I replicate the dope off same poi I could come close in guessing velocities and provide this information to Leopold to get the cap made.
I used the hornady billistic calculator. https://www.hornady.com/team-hornady...rs/#!/standard
shoot groups of 5@50, and 10 @ 100 and 200. Excluded the pulled shoots and cold bore. Took vertical measurements off aim point. These results were replicated in the calculator and I came up with 3,450 fps. This seems high out of the end of it's 25" barrel.
Anyone have a better way to approach this or am I headed in the right direction?
Here is a screen shot othe the dope chart with 50 yard zero and 200 yard zero for 3,450.
