I have not chronied these loads but would like to hear some estimates.
500 grain Hornady, WW cases, CCI magnum primer, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71 grains of IMR-4895. Rifle has a 24" barrel.
Thanks

I am shooting 74.5gr of h4895 with 500gr Hornadys in my CZ with a 25" barrel and it chronoes at 2182mv. I have not tried IMR4895 but it should work just fine.

I have used 74 grains of IMR-4895 with the 500 grain Hornady for 2110 FPS

71.5 IIRC!!! of H 4895 gives me ~2150fps as I recall, but it is erratic in my rifle, with big differences between rounds.

74 grains gets me 2160fps out of my CZ.

Snellstrom,

From Quickload:

67 gr = 1970 fps
68 gr = 2000 fps
69 gr = 2027 fps
70 gr = 2056 fps
71 gr = 2084 fps

Reality check:
In my old Vz24 (which had a 24" tube) 72 gr gave 2111 fps (69gr gave 2029 fps). So I am fairly confident these Quickload velocities are close to real.

Thanks guys very useful information.
About what speeds do people expect out of factory rounds with 500 grain bullets?

Snellstrom,

Factory 500gr loads that I have chronographed from a 24" barrel tend to run around 2040 fps.
