Next go around, the Stoner needs to go first. Either way the difference isn't so dramatic I would go out an buy a Stoner for 26fps, I already have one, but accuracy is more important then the speed advantage in this bout. Also I watched XCR and he was pretty fast at shooting and that probably has something to do with accuracy AND he was resting on his barrel on the bag and blocks of wood.... What is up with that XCR???? Free Float Barrel but since it was about speed, really doesn't matter...so I don't think the point was accuracy but speed and I think the point is taken and now you need to use cold ammo to prove you didn't have an advantage....
This is never going to end you do realize this
At least that what I think...
He's not nit-picking. 2650fps with a 24" barrel and a factory 123gr boat tail bullet is totally normal. Any deviations +/- that of 25fps are either environmental or barrel characteristics. The factory Hornady 123gr load is not what we were concerned with, it was the 120gr TSX loaded to 2820fps. We can shoot 123gr A-MAX all day through 24" guns and get velocities in the mid-2600's. That only confirms that the barrel produces normal velocities that any 24" barrel would produce. If the factory 123gr A-MAX was showing 2730fps or higher, that would be unusually fast.
