[QUOTE="dragman, post: 720999, member: 39571"] I think that John makes a really good point. They list loads at safe PSI ratings that they sale ammo for. If you take PO ackley and others and what they do into the equation you are no longer comparing apples to apples. Take the Warbird with a 190 and there ammo. they list 3425fps which I have seen on a chono myself be within 10fps out of my friends gun. I had a 300RUM that I could shoot 190's out of and hit 3445fps consistantly, but the pressure was SKY HIGH. Now with reloads out of my friends warbird with his hand loads and 190 bergers he was hitting 3602fps now it was pushing the limit of pressure but did shoot well. You have to put a limit like PSI on listed speeds to have a fair comparison. example: My PO ackley book shows a load for my 6.5-06 that is 5 grains over the max of any of my new books. does that mean that an old 6.5-06 is a faster cartridge than a New built one??? or does it mean that the old ones were pushed to higher PSI than they recomend.
