I'm trying to use a ballistic calculator on an iphone and an accurate muzzle velocity is required to get accurate output data.  I've done searches for various factory data but either it doesn't list muzzle velocity or it for a different length barrel they tested with than what I'm using.  So if anyone has any good data to share - it would be greatly appreciated.



Specifically, I'm looking for chrono data for the following out of an 18" AR (1:8 Larue SS barrel):

.223 Black Hills (blue Box) 77 OTM

.223 Privi 75 grn BTHP Match

.223 Privi 69 grn BTHP Match

.223 Privi 62 grn FMJBT

5.56 Privi M193



Also, if anyone has chrono data for some .308 Match ammo from a 20" (1:12 Rem 700 SPS-T), that would also be greatly appreciated.  Specifically:

FGMM 168 SMK

Black hills 168 BTHP

Black Hills 175 BTHP

Hornady 168 grn TAP

Privi 168 BTHP Match



Thanks in advance

Thanks, I missed that and I did try a search 1st.  



Question though.... I'm looking at the Black Hills 77grn Blue Box velocity difference between a 20" and 16" barrel and its not making sense.  It shows a 200fps drop from a 20" to 18" while none of the other similar loads show that big a drop.  For instance the FGMM 77grn show only a 10fps drop.  Thats a HUGE difference.  And almost all other differences in the same ammo from 20" to 16" show only ~100fps drop.  Is this a typo maybe?

Don't think so. Maybe it was a different temperature - hard to say.
