[QUOTE="ajhardle, post: 736013, member: 49861"] So, what I'm going to do is work up until I reach about 3100 fps. I will bet you that will be near the 25.5 to 26 gr I'm seeing in other manuals for their 55 gr bullets. An interesting note, Hornady's max load is lower than Speer's minimum by 8/10 gr. Hornady lists 23.2 as max. Speer has 24 as minimum. You can tell me different chambers, barrel lengths and components make a difference. I know, I've experienced that, but 500 fps error looks like a mistake to me. [/QUOTE]
