OK serious question for you pump rifle aficionados that also reload. Do you normally see velocities below, at, or above printed book values with your 760/7600/6? I ask because I've been working with 3 different powders that I've used in other rifles and with this pump I'm consistently getting 100-200 FPS slower with max loads. I'm even a full grain over Hodgdons website max load with the IMR4350 and still only about 2650. No signs of pressure but it's annoying the hell out of me. I don't know if it's the gun, the chrono, the bullets or the primers at this point.
If it matters it's a 30-06, 22 inch barrel, tried H4350, IMR4350 and Varget. Remington 9 1/2 primers and Sierra 180gr round nose bullets.
My 760 is in 300 Savage. Velocities with handloads and factory ammo are consistent with that from my Savage 99s.
