I find Nosler's velocity thresholds conservative at both ends. I wouldn't push it too far on the low end but on the high end I have exceeded the recommended velocity by 2-300 fps and they worked fine. The 57 & 65mm are dandy cartridges. I have the horn on for a 6.5x65 AI in a single shot rifle. A lot of trouble to slightly best the 270 Win. but who cares?
