[QUOTE="Seabeeken, post: 2337162, member: 68015"] I have found Speer loads in their latest manual to be a bit on the hot side in other cartridges. Speer shows 2700 fps but thats in whatever rifle they used and a 24" barrel and a max load according to them. In a computer simulation, that 66.2 gr load shows 86,000 psi. It depends on the rifle. While I dont shoot 35 Whelen, I have shot some speer data in various cartridges and as I approached max I got stiff bolt lift and ejector marks and the computer sim agreed with my rifle. As always, books and computers are reference and not cut and dried, just simply what speer found in their lab with whatever they were shooting. [/QUOTE]
