Federal .470 Nitro loads chronographed

Went out shooting my double today--working up a load using RL-15--88 and 89 grains--with a 500 Gr woodleigh bullet--Fed. 215 primer -along with a Kynoch styrofoam stuffer-the 89 grains produced 2100 fps or there about with each shot---this is with 26" barrels--

I chronographed the Federal 500 Gr Woodleigh Factory loads--and they produced a very consistant 2200 fps--and regulated very well also--

Has anyone else ever chronographed the factory loads? Are you getting about the same speed ?? Also noticed a very heavy crimp on the Federal loads --I did not crimp my reloads and yet they shot very well.. any thoughts??


Thank you

Ripp
