have a rifle I suspect is shot out. It’s an old 8mm-06, seems to shoot fine but when I chrony handloads, I’m finding that 2900fps loads are clocking 2500 and 2600 FPS lids are clocking 2100. Having checked the obvious (scale, etc), I’m now going to get a smith to take a cast and see whose what.
Getting a chamber cast and bore slug are always a good idea to ensure the true bore dimensions. What were the loads you tested?
