Look at one of the more recent Speer manuals, 11 or 12, I forget which.

They used a Savage 99 with a 20" barrel and held the pressures to 46K CUP.

They achieved very good velocities with RL-15 powder and 150-grain and 165-grain bullets, more than one would think possible with a 20" barrel and those pressures.


Keep your gun-hand ready and your eyes peeled.
