I look at velocity as not being very important as long as it's in
the practical range for the cartridge. I never load to achieve the
highest velocity possible. Pressure is more important but all the
manuals are geared to the industry standards. There is nothing
absolute, it all falls in a range of safety. I usually start at factory
duplication posted velocity for bullet weight and look up that
velocity for the powder I'm planning on using. I might go through
several bullets of same wieght & different powders till I get what
I want. If it's not a accurate load getting there 100 fps faster
doesn't help. On the other hand their is no point in loading down
for accuracy to the point you lose the advantage of the cartridge
you are loading for. A lot of beginners run down the specs and
pic out the highest fPS which means the lightest bullet. This may
work out in some cases but it never has for me.
