Using Norma cases, only partial forming, finnish VN540 powder 4,10g (63,3grs) CCI LR primer, Nosler BT 250grs: Velocity for 2x5 rounded: 820m/s (2690fps)
Zeroed to 180m (200yards) i have enough elevation in my old S&B 1,5-6x42 to more than 600 yards with enough windage for most of my hunting conditions (can go farther if not too much wind)
Controlled by shooting to 300, 400m and by balistic program, Infinity 6, close enough for real hunting world situations one can meet using a 9,3x62.
I even pushed the enveloppe farther without pressure sign or any problem but i give credit to the tight chamber of the Steyr, so went down to the load above to keep safety margin when temperature climbs.
Enough for all soft skinned game on earth to 400m (or a bit more, around 1600fps left at 600m) with close to 590m/s remaining velocity at 400m...
Far from a 200 yards ammunition!
