Probably not, since it's not listed in the 1967 Hodgdon manual....

Maybe he has a slow barrel or slow something else?

I think it is more of commenting before he has tried handloading a Roberts.

ddj Looks like.... 115's over 3K were not a real big problem in the Roberts....and over 2900 with 120's. Some easily did 3200 with 100 gr bullets;all reasons why the 25/06's went bye bye when friends and I saw these vels....I'm talking well in excess of a dozen or more rifles. Nuthin wrong with JB's data for the Roberts....
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Vihtavuori has just released a new edition of their reloading guide. Perhaps the most important thing is the new set of data for 6.5x55 in modern rifles.

Thanks for posting that. Just under 2900 with a 139 is pretty good!
