Tad more than 3200 fps with RL-22 and Hornady 130 Spire Points in a 24" Model 70.

In a couple of 22" Model 700's I can run right at factory listed velocity, maybe 3060-3080 fps, with a book max of H-4831 (the long cut variety).

RL-22 gave me the best velocity and best accuracy in my .270's and a .300 WM for the first 8 pound jug. But I had an unsettling experience with the second jug. The exact same charge I'd been using gave over 3300 fps in the 24" 270 and I forget the velocity in the .300 but it had the same effect which told me pressure was beyond reasonable.

My notes for the second jug always indicate xx grains "fast" RL-22.


Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
