This data is from my 1992 1st edition Barnes reloading manual. It does not state which specific bullet, only the weight.
Using IMR 4350... 49.0 grs.@ 2729 fps. to 53.5 grs.@ 2937 fps. with 140 gr. bullets.
My #26 Hodgdon manual show only bullet weight, not brand or type.
Using H4350...51.0 grs.@ 2732 fps. to 54.0 grs.@ 2957 fps. with 140 gr. bullets.
Both books state test barrels are 22 inches, kind of short for this hot rod round.
