I see lots of anectdotal data, where is the laboratory tested data?



It would be nice to have so we'd have a velocity to look to. I'm guessing the velocity would be around 2700 ish with a 147 eld in a 22-24" barrel. I loaded my modern tikka 6.5X55 swede to 2730 with the 147 eld but it holds 5 more grains of powder. I have both a case volume advantage and I'm 100 fps less than most along with zero conventional pressure signs so IMO I have three lines of safety that I've utilized. This is my way of being what I call a cautious experimental handloader.

Good bullets properly placed always work, but not everyone knows what good bullets are, or can reliably place them in the field
