Finally got the Jeffery out to shoot over the Lab Radar unit.
No reloads yet, just fired the factory load Privi Partizan 6.5x54 156 grain (sort of) round nose for a velocity baseline. 32 degrees F, but ammo and rifle were "room temperature".
5 shots:
1) 2275
2) 2330
3) 2306
4) 2327
5) 2321

Factory advertised muzzle velocity is 2395'/sec. The Jeffery has a 26" barrel & shot #1 was out of a clean barrel.

As noted elsewhere, the PPU bullets are loaded a little shorter than standard spec and the soft nose tips are roundnose but a flat tip. This results in problematic feeding from the Mannlicher Schonauer magazine. I expect the Hornady 160 grain roundnose loaded to normal 3.06” length will feed fine, as they do in my Wm. Evans 1893 Steyr .256 Mannlicher (6.5x53R) loaded to 3.05”.
