I was answering the post before mine as why he had 2710fps listed on his box. The original boxes had the picture velocities from 28" barrels.

They are getting hotter, Hornady 140 AMAX out of a 26" barrel (at or near copper equilibrium) in 70* F ambient air temp and 65-68* ammo temp will run average 2995 fps

Hornady has now come out with their ELD - X and ELD - M bullets and loaded cartridges so a new link needs to be added to this sticky.

I was getting 2830 out of a 24" barrel with 120 AMAX Match. I figured that out when I plugged in the factory data and shot for groups. I was hitting really low. Ran the ammo through the chrono, dialed in the lower velocity and it is now dead on. 8)

There is some good news in this for reloaders------you can get almost the same velocity from canister Superformance as you can the factory ammo. Example: 44gn of Superformance with 140gn SSTs averaged 2795fps from a 24" barrel using a MagnetoSpeed chronograph for measurement. (I like it much more than the light sensing Chrony 1.)  Also, 46.5gn of Superformance pushing 130gn Swift Scirocco II's were measured at 3010fps. Neither load is a maximum and your results may vary. Both loads were to the Hornady and Swift recommended COL.

Yeah, what's the deal?  Mine say the same thing, but my barrel is 26" so i get about 2,810 fps.  Did they change the charge?

Sorry for repeating the same thing.  Duuuuh...reading is hard.
Wind is hard...that's what she said.

ELD-X & ELD-M BALLISTICS?

Please post here when Hornady publishes ballistics for those new bullets.
Thanks.
