I strictly look at what's available in factory ammo. And in that, Wilson Combat is listing their SPCII loads with 110gr bullet @ 2700 fps from a 16" barrel. That's 150 fps faster than SAAMI loads from SSA, Hornady, etc, a substantially greater difference than the mere 20-30 fps noted by Loubser.
Duly noted. Of course ammunition manufacturers never inflate their numbers!
(However, that said, their numbers for their .223 and .308 loads are consistent with other loadings, so I can certainly believe their numbers.)Generally, when 3 witnesses, particularly 3 unrelated witnesses, give similar testimony, the court will rule in their favor. So far as I know, Dr. Roberts, Johan Loubser, and Mr. Silver from Remington have no contractual or other connections. When they say there is no significant difference in pressures between the two chambers, I would tend to believe them.
It will be interesting to see what 110 grain Wolf loads run when they are available for the Grendel.
You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
