What velocity should I be getting? LC brass,CCI 400 primer, Nosler 55 FBHP, CFE223 Savage 11-VT
26.0 grains-2947 SD17
26.5 grains-2992 SD 9
27.0 grains-3068 SD 14
Approx 1 MOA 3 shot groups
Rounds 35-65 fired through the barrel with this test. VERY little copper when cleaned.

Per Hodgons website 27.4 is max load with velocity in the 3300 range. Their test rifle was 1-12" twist vs the 1-9".
The standard 193 FMJ was 3365 out of the gun, so I pretty sure the chrono is correct.

I have 3 other bullets coming to test, Hornady 75hpbt and 2 other 55 grain poly tipped flat base. Hoping one of the bullets jumps out with a 1/2 MOA 5 shot groups. I hope the 75 shoots well because I have been shooting midrange and would like it if the .223 shot just as well as my .308 out to 600yds.
