The Problem: I was using Norma brass and Winchester WLR primers. Since the ammo and rifle were heading for Namibia, I thought maybe 57 grains was not all that conservative, and might be well above 2700 fps with temperatures of 95☏. 57 grains gave about 2680 fps, so I considered that max. 58 grains produced 2725 fps and also primer leaks. Twenty months ago I worked up a load for my M1885 with the 27" barrel of the 200 NPT with RL22. my rifle settled in nicely just North of 60 grains for 2700 fps with the 200 gr NPT's, that is a badass load in the old '06!
