[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1871732, member: 68875"] No fancy equipment here either, I am a blue collar guy. But I feel I am a fairly experienced hand-loader. I am meticulous about looking for signs of pressure. There are so many variables, it is nearly impossible to say what an actual baseline written max load/velocity is across the board. Unless you are talking a "lawyer load". I relly don't care about comparing the Sherman lines to either RSAUMs, WSMs, Ackleys, etc. The Sherman lines work fantastically. Fit better in a short action than anything except maybe a WSSM round, cycle smoothly, and produce numbers that are very desirable. Have great brass available, are usually chambered by the better gunsmiths, and loaded by more experienced hand-loaders, which helps the accuracy curve. If it helps, I get: 2976fps w. 156 Elite in a 20" 1:7.5" Proof (up to 3009) 3168fps w. 144 Hyb in a 26" 1:7.5" Proof (up to 3188 in a notoriously slow rifle) 3113fps w. 150 SMK in a 25.5" 1:8" Bartlein (up to 3165) These are all higher charge weight loads, but no signs of pressure.
