I'd be ecstatic to get 2700 out of my M70 !

Using the Forster long funnel, I have no doubt I could fit it in there, but I'll start low and see where the gun wants to be - 2500fps would be just fine and well away from pressure if the groups are there.

Thanks.


See my post above. I easily got over 2700 with R17 and that was the first load i tried. You might get 2700 or close in a 22" barrel.

My brass might be soft considering what John said about the Hunter load. I might try it again with different brass.
