I haven't put my loads over a chronograph but according to the Nosler manual, the 69 grain load is 2538 fps and the 77 grain is 2566 fps. However, they used a 20" barrel and my Savage is 26". I'm guessing that my loads are in the 2800 fps range. From a 100 yard zero to a 200 yard zero I go up 1 7/8 MOA or 3 3/4 inches. (15 clicks with each being 1/8 inch at 100 yards. At 200 yards, each click would be 1/4 inch)
