How accurate is the ballistic data printed on the box of any brand you choose ammo?
I load the same bullet but can't find a powder to duplicate their ballistics,
I came, I saw, so I killed them all......Vern

Out of curiosity, what load are you trying to duplicate?

I’ve never really chronographed factory ammo. If I’m shooting factory ammo in m doing so for the brass.
One thing to remember is the factories have access to powders we are not. A good friend that taught me reloading years ago said he talked to the owner at misled and a few other ammo guys and thats what they told him.
I’d imagine it’s somewhat close enough for the average shooter because I’d imagine they load for the average rifle.
There’s a lot of what it’s and it depends.

those ballistics are 99% grossly overstated. I personally have never seen a factory load chrono at stated velocities. EVER.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

The few factory loads I've chronoed have been well short of the velocities on the box. Sometimes as much as 200+ FPS less than the box.
