Goal velocity on XXL vs the manufacturers website?
Hi, folks.
I'm reloading my .375 H&H with Peregrine VLR4 230gr bullets, using Lovex S062 powder.
However, I'm battling to find a stable velocity which also GROUPS well on the target. I'm seeing a BIG discrepancy, though, between what the target velocities are on this XXL site, versus that on Peregrine's website. XXL has the target velocity at 2710 fps, where Peregrine has the velocity at 2920 fps.
Personally, I think 2920 fps for a 230gr out of a .375 is rather fast, but that comes from the manufacturer.
Question is - what should my goal be? Do I aim for what the manufacturer says, or go by the XXL load data?
Any advice?
Thanks.

I think XXL only loads to roughly 90% of max charge. Others might not. I find that BARNES max load data always is in the overpressure zone as an example. As other here says, load to your weapon, use puplic load data as guidelines.
