I don't have load data for this bullet and powder. The closest match is from Hodgdon using Hornadays 140g MFTX bullet which max's out at 2435fps with 34g of powder, compressed. (interesting they are compressing spherical powder...).What types of velocities does the manual say you should be seeing with that weight bullet and caliber?
There is some user data published by Hammer on another forum, theres a guy using HLVR in the same rifle as mine getting 2540fps with 37g of HLVR but he didn't include other data like COAL or primer. Another user is getting nearly the same results in a Win 94 rifle. Hammers an interesting bullet, ive been following reloaders over there and they are all generally getting impressive velocities.
I might either stop and zero where Im at, or if Im not compressing the load maybe see if I can creep up on another 100fps where my 30-30 will be a heavy hitter out to 200yds since I'll be hunting elk with it this year.
