The velocity you got seems a little on the slow side to me. I 'd try to increase the charge a bit if you are after the max speed and if the pressure signs are in check. Different gun here but I 'm in the 27-ish grains with W748 in my Mini 14 and that powder is a tiny bit faster according to Hodgdon's site. The load is quite warm though! The max charge for CFE with 55s is actually 27.8 on the site which doesn't of course guarantee that you either will reach it or be limited by it on the other hand, granted you have enough space in a case. As always, proceed prudently and with caution!
