[QUOTE="aramarine6, post: 878952, member: 24685"] Factory ammo makers sell ammo based on "published" velocities. However I have found that rarely do factory ammo makers actually hit the numbers they are claiming. As for Hornady's superformance product line I can say that they do produce faster velocities but again are alittle short of what it says on the box. Also keep in mind that you need to make sure that the factory and the reloading books are using the same barrel length for testing. I have also noticed over the years that reloading books have backed off from their stated max loads. Most likely for safety reasons. But in the end, there are tons of different variables that come into velocity variation. Not just how much or what type of powder is used. [/QUOTE]
