Give and take a little here and there for variations in case capacity, chamber dimensions, and powder lot differences...I think that's what accounts for the charge weight / velocity discrepancies. What I look at is, what pressure is required to drive the bullet to "X" velocity with a given combination of components? I believe (I do NOT say I "know") you're running at a little under 55 kpsi. In a modern bolt gun I would not be afraid to push to even higher pressures (and therefore higher velocity) but only in the quest to find an accuracy sweet spot. You might gain a hundred fps by doing that, but velocity just isn't the right motivation to lean on it any harder IMO.


Don't be the darkness.

America will perish while those who should be standing guard are satisfying their lusts.
