[QUOTE="woolecox, post: 1948939, member: 18551"] I disagree. The only ammo that did not function was the Federal GMM 175SMK factory load. It only chronographed at 2400 fps. A full 100 fps less than my hand loaded 175 SMK's. All my loads functioned fine. Also, the factory Hornady Black (ammo made for gas guns) with 168 AMAX bullets measured around 2620 fps, the same as my 168 grain handholds. So, I would say my loads are in the ballpark of factory ammo. The weaker Federal factory ammo is the only one that would not function (except suppressed). I get my data from multiple reloading manuals depending on the bullet being loaded. I also cross reference with the Lyman 50th addition and Hodgdon online data. As I said in the OP, nothing was anywhere near max. [/QUOTE]
