[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Federal AE 62gr chrono results?

Posted: 9/10/2005 9:40:29 AM EDT

I did a search but couldnt find numbers for chromelined, 20" barrels. By any chance, has someone made MV tests with this ammunition? Possibly even with a 1:9" or 1:7" twist rifle?

Regards and thanks,
Matt

Don't have a chrono (hmmm, that's an idea, will drop a hint to my son about what he can get me for Christmas!)

Link to Federal's ballistics info, check out FAE loads. I believe all info from a 24" barrel (standard for SAAMI tests), so deduct about 120 fps (approx 30 fps per inch of barrel length) for a 20".

Thanks for the hint, although I am aware of this rule of thumb method. It really bugs me that I dont find "hard numbers" on some ammos, and the 62gr AE is one of them

.

Thanks anyway!!

Regards!
Matt
