OK My trusty Nosler Load book shos RE-22 will toss a 200 gr partition at 2768 fps with a 94 % case fill with a 30-06 Ackley.
The 32 fps its short is within "margin of error"Maybe newer gen powders will get you there.
And,every rifle s different.Of course,many an AI shooter wwill achieve velocities not in the book,prudent or not.
Not suggesting ignoring max,but appropriately,there is some margin of error.
For example,it CAN be that the guy who keeps records, who buys 8 lb jugs of powder,always using the same lot, bys 500 virgn brass rather than nrange pickup,requires less margin than the guy who buys 1 lb at a time,with a different lot each time.
I've used my chrono to watch velocity gains to coincide with charge increases to find my "max" when I gained less velocity with a charge ncrease.
BTW,these usually agree very closely with published data
And,if 4 loadings gets me looser primer pockets,its too hot.
I'm not avocating being reckless,but a different load book may show variance enough for 32 fps.
Grand scheme of things32 fps won't make or break anything.Its just a number. What if a foot was only 11 inches,,or a second was 1.01 second?
We pick a number off a page,but what does it mean?Does it gain you 25 yds range?
