    Very kind offer, thankyou. I was thinking the same thing, hogdgon book data seems optimistic, adi often works out pretty close. And a shorter barrel does muddy the waters, I’m at 20 inch so there’s always going to be some loss.

    If you have a look on some of the US centric forums, a lot of people state that real life velocities are much lower than advertised on Hodgedon. I'm less worried about that and more interested in how it actually performs in my rifle compared with other powders. At this stage it seems at least as accurate and about 70fps faster than a roughly equivalent pressure load of AD2206H, so that's good enough for me to keep using it for now.
