    25.5gn: 2855fps (no pressure signs)

    Hodgdon list a max charge behind the 73gm Projectile of 26.2gn for 2990fp with a 24" barrel. I stopped my testing there when I got hold of some 2206H but I reckon 26gns would be fine and should crack the 2900fps mark in my 20" barrel.
    Awesome I may try some at some stage as a back up.
