[QUOTE="436, post: 2883914, member: 16609"] Well, if you go back into Nosler books you'll see a load of RL-15 {39.0grs} showing 4050 fps... that would be Nosler manual #3 page 131... my particular rifle was always hovering in the 4000 fps with SD's up and down a little, and I might add crazy accurate with 1/2 moa's the norm. Nosler... even in its older manuals, like # 1 and # 2 they had loaded with velocities in the 3900 fps plus range... #1 page 73 # 2 page 97 Now in manual # 4 page 156, they bring the load down with RL-15 to {37.0grs} and the velocity is 3980 fps, it just starts getting slower from there. Manual #9 page 168 their last manual shows RL15 {37.0grs} at a velocity of 3665 fps. why? I have no idea perhaps it's just the way their test gun/barrel shot. I have "all" of Noslers reloading manuals from #1 to #9 and many of the handout pamphlets in between. but I digress, my rifle with the aforementioned loads {39.0grs} got 4k across my Oehler 35p Chronograph as I said, perhaps it's just the gun/barrel... but, the load was in their book and was acceptable at one time..... I'm thinking, corp lawyers. Cheers [/QUOTE]
