because they don't had the original 5780 mm long test barrel



The DEVA has and used the original 26" DWM test barrel Gehmann used when he developed his proprietary cartridge and loads in the 1950s. When they checked a recent 7x66 SE factory load (post-DWM, 1980s) supplied by Gehmann (owner of the vom Hofe trademark), they got merely 3068 fps instead of the 3445 fps advertised by Gehmann on the package label. Pressure was just a modest 3050 bar instead of the CIP maximum 4400 bar.
