I'm going to load H4895 reduced 130-gr load for my 270 Win. Target velocity is ~2200 fps.
Hodgdon's "60% of Max" rule, applied to 270 130-gr H4895 Max 45.0 grs, yields 27.0 grs for minimum safe load, but doesn't indicate what velocity I might expect.
Extrapolating between Hodgdon's starting load velocity and max load velocity, linearly (I know, a useless exercise at best!), I wonder if 29.5 grs H4895 won't yield closer to 2200 fps?
Question: Has anyone out there clocked their reduced H4895 loads in a 270 Win?
[Note: Not interested in Trail Boss or any other powder besides H4895, thanks - in advance!]
