I'm loading 29gr of H4895 under a Nosler 120 BT in Remington cases with Fed 210M primers. The load shoots ridiculously well in my daughter's Rem M7 youth with 20" barrel. I ran out of bullets (except to hunt with) and time, before I could get zeros at multiple distances but I know where it shoots at 50 and 100yds as-is. Could someone give me a muzzle velocity estimate so I can plug it into a ballistics program to get drops and impact energy past 100?
If that 29-grain charge is not a typo, looks like it's running right at 2000 fps.

No typo, it is a touch above the starting charge recommended by Hogden with H4895 powder using their 60% reduced load rule. That is a touch slower than I had hoped for but it shoots easy for her and should have enough pop out to 100-125 yds. Thanks for your help
Pleased to help.
