That looks like a quickload print out not actual velocities.
Varget, RE15, 748, 2520 are in the right range for burn rate using 75s and 80s IMO.
This was from 2008- You can see I am at least 1 gr more in a case that holds 1/2gr less and still shooting groups under 1/4".
The first barrels gas port was a little large, now I know to start at .089" for a RGS 20"

I can load and test velocity here in the shop. I'll shoot some 75s and 55s with CFE, Lever and 8208 in a few minutes.

I'm confused, you are saying 20" barrel but showing 26" barrels for some of the velocities and I did not see a 3250 fps 75 Amax load.

Yes those are from quickload but that is what Mike sent and where he is firmly stating that's his max loads he recommends. Like I said cousin tried more and loosened up primer pockets.

But the gun shoots everything great, it is an accurate round and is better with the heavier bullets. Cousin almost sold his due to the trouble it took to get less than his 223AI with 50 gr bullets (his favorite bullet weight) but tried the 60 gr NBT's (I thought it was Vmax's) and now loves the round. He switched to Imperial sizing lube and uses a 243WSSM die before going on down to 22 caliber.

He had a 223 WSSM that could've been the king but got less than 1000 rounds before toasting the barrel. Tried the 25 WSSM but saw the 22 PDK and it's reported 3900 fps with 50 gr bullets but the guy quit building them so he tried Mikes version. Long story short, he has 3 or 4 223AI's and for him they make the most sense.

I will remind him of the new powders and look forward to seeing your results.

2/3rds of that list is 75gr Amax. only the bottom portion is 55gr Noslers. I only shot a few loads from a 8 twist 3 groove Pac Nor before my 20" Krieger 7.7 twist barrel came in.
The 3290fps load I shot last week with CFE out of the production 20" 8 twist 5R rifled barrels is not on my print out from 2008.
As I test-
31gr Lever 75 Amax 2.295" 20" barrel=3246fps ave
31gr CFE=3225fps
28gr 8208=3148
55gr NBT............
32.5gr Lever=3525fps
33.5gr Lever=3588fps-max case fill
30gr 8208=3567
29gr N530=3598
29.6gr N530=3676
50gr Varmint Grenade
28.5gr N530=3703...max load.longer bullet, more pressure

28gr experimental projo
30gr N530=3984fps

The load for the 28gr bullets above had more room to increase velocity. I ordered some 30gr Varmint Grenades to see what it will do.

Info passed along and he's headed to find Leverloution now. He would like to know what brass you're running, how many loadings you're getting and which primers?

Much appreciated and will post his results later.

SSA brass, CCI 450 primers.I have at least 5 loads on each case now. Those loads above are max. he needs to start apx 2 gr lower and work up. I always work up to max so I know where it is then back off 1 gr and look for accuracy.

Cousin finally tried Leverloution in his 22DTI, temp was 80 degrees, he shot 30.5 grs under a 60 gr NBT and registered 3430 fps avg. 31 grs was hot and reached 3480 fps. 24" SS barrel. Figured he'd get more powder in the bigger case.

The 60 NBT is a flat base if I remember right, maybe more bearing surface?
