Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Be happy you're not like me - I once worked up a load an accurate load for my wife's 7mm-08 that killed mule deer as effectively as any round I've ever seen. And going by what it said in the Hornady manual, I figured it was kicking 139gr. bullets out at a little over 2800fps. Then my wife gave me a chronograph for Christmas. I found out my magic 7mm-08 "Deer Slayer" round is only kicking bullets out at around 2600fps!I'm happier if I leave the chronograph in the garage until I have found the load I like.
I didn't change it - I'm not that obsessed with velocity. I haven't told my wife her 7mm-08 isn't as fast as I told her it is though.
