I got no where near that 2900 fps Muz, and I was shooting them in a 25" Shilen barrel. We got closer to 2800 in the 25" barrrel, and 2760 in a 24". All this did not matter much to the game we hit with them. Remember, forgivness is easier to get than permission. | |||

That load actually did ~2775 fps out of my 22" M70. Not too bad but still short of what a good handload can do. | |||
