Hornady Load data referenced on that link, list a max charge of 33.3 grains of BLC 2... I disected a factory round and it had a charge of 35.5 grains of powder that looked like W 748 or BlC2...and claimed an MV of 2350 or 2400 fps...

So I loaded some cases with 35.5 grains of BLC2 and got the same MV Hornady Factory ammo got with their 160 grain FTX...

so are they telling us that they recommend a lighter charge so the public can't duplicate their factory loads MV??
