I had a 270 Win. Browning BAR that had a generous chamber(stretched the brass)I was scared to shoot reloads in it because the web would split sometimes after 2 firings.I bought 2 boxes of Winchester Power Max 130 PHP for it.
I used my shooting crony to see how close my rifle would shoot to what the box said being a semi-auto.The box said 3060 fps and I got 2960,2952,2965 fps with a 22" barrel.I thought I would try them in my vanguard and see what they did in it and 3 shots were 3010,3002,3022 fps with a 24" barrel.I think the BAR lost the speed because of the 2" less barrel and being a semi-auto.Both rifles really liked that batch of bullets. I bought the 2 more boxes of power maxs again for it(different batch).My rifle sure didn't like the second batch.
