Tony Williams Wrote:...only quoting velocities at 50 yards makes the Grendel look bad compared with others who quote muzzle velocity.I hadn't picked up on the 50 yard measurement distance. I have, however, noticed that the 120 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip offering at Midway shows a muzzle velocity of 2376 ft/sec, corresponding to the 14.5" barrel length in the AA ballistics sheet I downloaded five minutes ago. It has been that way for TWO YEARS!
I understand that the industry standard for muzzle velocity is at the muzzle with a 24-inch barrel. The loss of 300 ft/sec compared to the Wolf offering, without explanation, is also disturbing...
