I have to agree about a chronograph...we spend several hundreds of dollars on reloading equipment..but we cannot spend $100 on a chronograph.
A Chrono is the only way to know for sure... Spend the $100 and buy a chronograph. Also shoot your groups on different parts of your target. Your life will be easier...:-) My 308 shot through a 26" barrel with a compressed charge of Varget. I averaged 2970 fps with a Barnes 150gr TTSX bullet, seated at 2.8 ". This was my first loading of this bullet. I just made a guess...This was shot last week end... Loaded on my Dillon 550 with out any special stuff...:-) OK..they were just neck sized... All distances are lased... 
This is now my hunting load... |

Beta chrony should be here this weekend. I did the ladder test for initial stage to give an idea of how it was going to shoot
I did decide to try these vs the 168s. I believe I am going to be looking in the 1-5 charge range for my next loading of these bullets. Less than 0.5" vertical is a good start across that wide of a charge range |

I've watched a couple guys set up chronos at the range.
Looked like a pain in the ass and kept me and others from shooting for several minutes. I'll probably get the Magnetospeed when they work out the flaws. http://www.magnetospeed.com/ |

not please at all. I am not sure if it is my scope(since it has a preset 100 yard parallax) or the caldwell led sled rest I was using but load did not shoot worth crap at 200 yards today especially after grouping well at 100. And bad thing is almost every shot felt extremely well when I squeezed it off
91 F, 5-7 mph wind from 10 ocklock position
