[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2879862, member: 68875"] So nearly 2700 with a 213 from an 06' based wildcat. Sounds pretty impressive to me. I am running a .300PRC AW2 and running a 215 Hyb @ 2860fps. I got up to 3055, but give me accuracy over raw speed any day. Plus, it is a lightweight running suppressed, so I will take less recoil as an added bonus. I take Sherman data with a grain of salt...and I have a BUNCH of Shermans. And a lot of the info on their spreadsheet was supplied by me. I have tested a couple of the first ever chambers. But I do my own testing. And I think I am pretty good at reading pressure signs and have very realistic expectations of where velocities should be. I would be researching .338-06AI recipes. I don't always go with the conventional powders. There are more commonly used powders like BL-C2, Varget, H4350, RL17, but I wouldn't discount RL23, N560, maybe even N565. [/QUOTE]
