I have found published loads by Brian Pearce and Phil Shoemaker, to be exactly what they said they were and in many different rifles.
I had been loading the RE-22 load since 1990 and it does exactly what Brian published and these have been checked by four chronographs, an Oehler among them.
I worked out 45-70 loads for both the Marlin "pre-safety" 1895 and Miroku 1886 SRC I had for some years and, later, read Phil's articles giving the same loads.
As it happens, I could NEVER get anywhere near the velocities with H-4831 that Nosler No. 2 gives and quit using it in the '90s.
No offence intended to any poster here, just what I found in 47 years of far too many rifles and time spent loading and shooting.
