I would like to have real world, chronograph proven data. I have several reloading manuals and know what they say.
I have tried Unique, W231, and VV340, and am unable to get above 800 fps without max loads, despite the fact that the books say I should be there. I am using 230g FMJs.
For example, I just loaded 230g FMJ's with 6.2 grains of VV340... and got a consistent 755 fps. The book data looks like I ought to have been in the 800 fps range.
So what loads have you developed that actually give you 800 FPS or more?
