R26 at 53.5 with 129-130 grain bullets was giving me 3130-3150 fps. That seemed way high but no pressure signs. I pulled those loads but on second loading primers were still tight. I need to check my Magneto speed to make sure it is on. I might have one of those legendary fast barrels but that seemed too fast, 6.5-284 velocities out of a Swede?

Anything over 2,800 fps and I am good to go for this season. Maybe when I get back to load work up there will be more published data.
