In this video, I conduct a detailed investigation into what sort of muzzle velocities 23 different 6.5 PRC, 270 Winchester, 7mm Rem Mag, 300 Blackout, 300 Win Mag, and 4570 Government factory loads from Barnes, Federal, Hornady, Nosler, Remington and Winchester are actually delivering afield when fired from rifles with 24" barrels (or 16" in case of the 300 Blackout).

Here are the specific loads and rifles I used in the test:

6.5 PRC Hornady Precision Hunter 143gr ELDX

Browning ABolt 270 Winchester (24" barrel)
270 Win Hornady Superformance 130gr SST
270 Win Federal Power Shok 130gr Soft Point
270 Win Hornady Precision Hunter 145gr ELDX
270 Win Remington Core Lokt 150gr Core Lokt
270 Win Winchester Power Point 150gr Power Point

Remington Model 700 7mm Remington Magnum (24" barrel)
7mm Rem Mag Federal Power Shok 150gr Power Shok
7mm Rem Mag Hornady Precision Hunter 162gr ELDX

300 Win Mag Hornady Precision Hunter 200gr ELDX
300 Win Mag Federal Terminal Ascent 200gr Terminal Ascent

Marlin 1895 .4570 Government (24" barrel)
4570 Govt Barnes VORTX 300gr TSX
4570 Govt Hornady LEVERevolution 325gr FTX

As you'll learn, I discovered a couple of very interesting things about the accuracy of advertised muzzle velocities when you shoot that ammo in a rifle with a long enough barrel.
