The 3912 average was with 63grs of RL17. That's under book max, but getting more powder in the case may have been a chore..
Funny, but the recoil was noticeably less with the 85.
That�s what I noticed about the 85s, as well.
I loaded some 85s down somewhat with RE15. Seeing as they are built for the 6.8 SPC, figured they would work well slowed down - and they do. Started at 3100 they kill stuff just fine, and kick like a 243. Makes for an excellent starter rifle that a kid can grow into.
