Does anyone know what the approximate velocity of this load would be out of a 26" barrel with a 150gr ballistic tip??? I threw 6 rounds together with that mix last summer and didn't get to try them until today. It seems to be extremely accurate, but seems fairly mild to me. I'm guessing something on the order of 3100-3200fps, more like a .30-06 load, but it shoots one hole groups. I'd appreciate someone running this on their software, or even a good guess. Thanks.

Fwiw--I saw some articles where they compared the 4350's and AA was always the slowest. I bought some a year or so back and I just checked my reloading records. In a '06 with the same 165 bullet H4350 did 2850 with 58.5 grains. 59.0 of aa4350 did 2680. So, it would appear to me that it's valid to think it's a full 6% slower than some of the other 4350's. BUt then you have potential lot to lot variations.
From the load data I've seen on the RUM I would say you have made a very vary accurate guess.

Won't give velocities, but the usefuil range for AA-4350 and 150's is:

AA-4350 From 76.0 grains to 85.0 grains
Remington 9-1/2M Primer

So your "mild" load is actually at the upper limit.
