The new Hodgdon loading manual shows a staBALL 6.5 max load at 3,004 fps. Details:
Hornady brass
24" barrel
Federal 210M LRMP
1-8" twist
Max load of 45.3 grains and a COAL of 2.670"

I doubt that velocity is obtainable unless you go longer with your barrel.


There are 2 rules to success:

1. Never tell everything that you know.
