Hello all,

I have just started reloading for 6.5x54ms that I have recently purchased. I have been confused by the different velocity listings. My loads are as high as I am comfortable to go and are producing about 2150fps. This the velocity that ADI and Hornady list as near max. John Taylor, P.O. Ackley and cartridges of the world list the velocity closer to 2400fps. I assume that this is the difference in barrel length between the carbine and English style rifles. Am I correct in this assumption?
