Did anybody read the article by Patrick Meitin in Issue 332 of Handloader magazine? I thought WOW!, finally some modern data. But I was a bit surprised by the low velocities he reported, especially in a 26 inch barrel and the strong Arisaka action. Anybody hazard a guess why he kept velocities so low? He writes the case capacity of the x57 is one grain less than the x55 so I would have thought velocity in the x57 would have been up there with modern data for the x55 Swede.
Or was he just being careful in the borrowed rifle from his dad. There is some data on Load Data.com that list higher velocity in 24 inch barrels.
