Hello doubleriflejack,

I appreciate the info. Did the variable 40-43 grains of 4895 give 2000 fps in different rifles. In other words, did some rifles achieve 2000 fps with 40 grains, while others required 43 grains to get that velocity? Was this loading at acceptable pressures, giving "easy extraction"?

By the way. I did discover a drawback for using a rifle with such a short barrel. When you use a boat cushion to steady your rest, you have to make sure the end of the barrel extends beyond the cushion. Dah?
