OE and the 45-90
Just in case anybody had a desire to know.. 81 grs 1.5 and the 535 M3 bullet churn out 1340 fps over the NRA chrono here at the Whittington

Don, What barrel length is that and how much of a difference do you think barrel length makes? Shoot sharp, Mike

Every inch of extra barrel length gives 2 fps in velocity. Shoot straight, rdnck.

Don

Have you tried OE 2F ? If so was velocity much different and accuracy comparing the two? Inquiring minds need to know.

I do not live in the middle of nowhere, but I can see the edge of it from here.

Most of what I tell you is true and the rest, well the rest is the West.

I have not tried it. Eddie Hayes shoots 85 2f or in his 90, with very stellar results
