Has anyone gotten the velocity numbers Nosler data and R22. I have tried the loads Nosler has in their 4 and 6 books and not gotten the velocities as with other data. I have tried a few different lots of R22 in 7mm Rem Mag and 270 WSM and I am down 100-200fps. But with IMR 4350 and their load data, I come out very close.

E.g. working up to max with 140gr bullet, I never got above 3088fps in 7mm mag, but should be over 3200+ fps in 7mm Mag.

I also worked up to max in 270 wsm with 130gr with R22, but never got up to speed, I did get up to speed with R19 and IMR 4350.
 
Nosler uses a Universal Receiver and a min spec test barrel when developing their data. I doubt much anyone is easily matching their velocities with a factory firearm.
 
I have only matched their RL22 loads in .30-06 w/180 Accubonds with my minimum chambered M1999 w/25" bbl. With my 24" barrel Winchester classic stainless they averaged 35 FPS slower. RL22...at least in .30-06 is normally a god send for 180's. I like Winchesters discontinued WXR which is very similar and Grafs' has 371 pounds in stock for 12.99 a pound. I will place a large order over the phone tomorrow. :evil:
