jwall - I knew the PRVI was dirty but had no idea it was soooo slow. Granted my CZ550FS has a short barrel but 2225-2250fps is akin to slingshots & rocks these days. "Sedate", "slow", even "grand-fatherly" come to mind... My Hornady #9 shows 'starting'
loads at 2300fps for 140gr bullets out of their 29" barreled M1896 test rifle, topping out at 2600fps w/IMR4350,RL19 and H4831. Homesteader
