Chronograph-ed a few loads today with the Berger Hybrids and 2208

32.4 = 2927
32.6  = 2942  

However this isn't that much faster than our 6br  load with 107 smk's and 30.1 of 2208,  we are getting around 2890. I though with 2942  are we really taking advantage of the extra "power" of the BRX ?

Today I tried 32.9  & 33.1 yielding  2980 & 3000,  this is probably more the velocity I would have expected from this cartridge,  accuracy with the 33.1 was a little better in vertical than the 32.6 loads I have tested.  There certainly wasn't any sign's  of pressure.  What sort of velocity are others who are shooting the BRX obtaining ?  I have read that the BRX's  best accuracy is around the 3020 to 3080 fps though I do realise all rifles are different.  

Thanks
