Need Data for 2019 Eley Tenex Lots

[PNW Skipper]

I have two bricks of 2019 Eley Tenex that don't have average lot velocity on the box labels, only the lot number. I would prefer not to go shoot it up over a chronograph just to find out the velocity. Anyone have either real world data, or data from the lot analyzer before Eley took it down, for the following two lots?

1019-02272
1019-03229

Thanks in advance for any help.

If Eley hasn't published the average lot velocity it obtained through the Eley factory test barrels, the only way to know the average MV in a particular rifle will be by shooting over a chronograph.

It may be worth noting that, other than for the reasons you have for wishing to know, the average lot velocity that used to appear on the box will not necessarily be the average velocity for that lot when shot through your rifle. Average MV from lot to lot will vary even in barrels of the same length due to bore characteristics.

Thanks. While your points are valid, and understood, they don’t directly bear in this case. I have a good experience-based correlation to the Eley lot markings, and to a lesser extent chronograph data, for which of my target rifles prefer which range of said Eley published velocities. Some have a strong preference for Eley products in the 1047-1048 range, some prefer about 10fps above that. Almost nothing but an old Win52A shoots stuff in the 1065-1068 range well. For the ones that shoot faster match ammo better I will go to Lapua, RWS, or old Federal Ultramatch lots. As I said, I'm just trying to avoid spending ammo for data collection if someone has the data I need.

I’m pretty sure they took it down before then.
