| Warning! Notes: case: Rem; primer: Rem 7 1/2. Data was gathered with an Oehler Model 10 chronograph for the older loads, and an Oehler Model 33 for the more recent ones. Screens were set ten feet from muzzle, and spaced five feet apart. All loads are safe in the rifles they were developed for, but caution is advised in using these without first dropping back two or three grains. (Rifle Issue #98 - March, 1985) |
