Thanks a lot for the real world info. I am near the end of my last batch with Rel-15. I think I will try some. I would like 2700 fps with a 22 in barrel and a 225 Partition if practical.

Good Lawd, all this Whelen talk is making me want to load up some Partitions for elk season! I use TBBC if I hunt elk. But I just got a box of 225 Sierra BT's to load for deer. I've been using 60 gr REL-15 for a long time but some of the new data is intriguing. Is there any consensus on the top velocity loads? I still have some Federal TBBC ammo that is very accurate at a little less than the advertised velocity of 2,600 fps. After trying a few other powders, I found that CFE223 is very accurate with 225 gr Partitions at a bit over 2,700 fps. Can’t quote the exact average velocity since I’m not at home with my load data, but I think it is like 2,724 fps. I just landed on that powder before the current shortage and had only tried a couple of other powders. I’m looking no further for a 225 Partition load. Happy Trails I get 2640 out of the Bearclaws in mine which is very accurate. but more like 2560 out of the 225 gr Sierra handload. CFE223 is made of unobtanium at the moment but I will try some when i get some.With the Bearclaw load going away I, too am headed for 225 gr Partitions. I have used one box of them just for targets and they shoot well. Thanks, Gary

Good hunting!

Nosler lists quite a few loads over 2700. I do pretty well in my Pump gun with Sierra 225’s H4895.

As it relates to my 22 in rifle I find the Nosler data pretty optomistic. I will use my newish Magnetospeed on my next batch o f loads. They were checked on a Shooting Chrony.
