I have a new Rem 700 300 Win Mag and it has a Leupold VX3 CDS scope on it. I need to get the barrel broken in and get the muzzle velocity for it so I can send the info to Leupold to make the custom turret for it.
Is this time of year a bad time to get it sighted in and muzzle readings or would it be better to wait till spring/summer next year. Will colder weather/ humidity affect muzzle velocity and sighting in? I'd hate to give them a bad reading and have the turret be faulty due to being impatient.
I'm going to start out with Doubletap 180Grain Accubonds. they claim 3050 FPS out of a 24" barrel, mine is 26" so I was hoping for at least 3100 fps.
Any suggestions?
