    I use 2209 in my Husky
    barrel three inches longer though Fireflite
    use 65.3gr of 2209 in a Laupa case for around 2340Fps but the case is really full and I've bought a long drop funnel to get it in so the bullet will seat to my satisfaction.
    I've persevered with this 2209 as
    1- I have heaps and 2 - it is rather accurate in my rifle
    however, if it continues to annoy me I'll switch to 2208 and see what I get there
    Perhaps another brand of case may be able to fit more 09 in.

    I started at 62gn without any problems @3.27"

    Sorry edit to add using 286g Hornady interlock as well as a 0.37 comparator now for 2.627"
    2340 speed may be optimistic , the Shooting chrony chrony must have been having a generous day. seem to be averaging just over 2260 with the magneto speed

    I'm using 56gr 2208 with 286gr Prvi getting about 2250fps from 24" barrel. Apparently BLC-(2) is the best powder for velocity.

    Harvey recommended a start of 64 as well but I was having trouble fitting it in so wondered if it was a misprint and went way back just incase
    he also says 67 will give 2410fps but there ain't no way I'm fitting 67grs of 2209 in my cases.

    I'm not sure but I wasn't game to try his heavier ones.
    I'd do exactly what you are thinking of doing, go from 61 and see.
    Powder's cheap, eyesight gets expensive rather quickly.
