That's to close for me so I will only use my 20 at 1000 yards but just wanted to show what sterlok gives me with my data from a 16 inch at just above 350 altitude.
I think you might have entered something wrong when you ran the numbers.
I'm going to grab my notes and double check my data but that's what sterlok is giving me.
Edit to add.
Double checked my data everything is correct.
AA 16 inch
Hornady eld-m average muzzle velocity is 2494
Altitude 351 asl
1000 yards -1190.1 fps
Still a bit to close to for my liking but it seems possible to hit 1000 yards with a good handload you might reach it 1000 yards with 1200 fps.
Wow! Thats fast bro lol!
You must have a hell of a barrel, because Hornady factory ammo (123eld-m Black ammo) only averages 2400 +/- 10fps out of my 18 inch 3r AR performance barrel. With handloads (123SMK and AR-Comp) I can get 2460.
But near 2500fps average from a 16 seems...optimistic?
