factory 730 ammo
« Reply #2 on: July 08, 2003, 08:47:26 AM »
Federal Factory 120grain FP chrony'd just over 2400 fps from my 14" TC bbl.   If you look up the b.c. and plug in the velocity you will get a good idea of the trajectory.

Hope this helps.

Just to show the difference in lots of factory ammo and barrels the federal factory 120's chronographed 2507 fps in my factory 14". Just FYI, Rick

Federal 7-30 Waters..

I shot my pistol with this load just to see where it would be if I happened to get somewhere without my handloads. I had it 1.5" high at 100 yds. It hit about dead on at 150 and 4" low at 200yds. Good enough for deer hunting. It shot about 1" right of my 120grn V-Max and 120grn SP handloads.
I haven't had the chance to chrono the Fed load from my pistol.

I have one of the 2x Leupolds on mine with Leupold base and rings.  No problem with 275 yard deer hit.  Dropped like a rock.
