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).
