No, I didn't go look for it. I am uneasy taking load data off the WEB and just using it. I pretty much work with QuickLoad and the powder company manuals.

So how can you base your model on anything and know your going about it right if you dont look around to see what other people are using and getting?
Here, I'll make it easier for you, I found more information on the 221FB that shows velocities with the 55gr noslers reaching 3300fps. Its a reputable suplyer of good loading data, I encourage you to click on the link.

Yet another location that shows similar loading data.
I dont always beleive what I see on line but I dont disgard all the information either or I would never learn anything of gain new ideas, I try to think outside the box once in a while. I spose I could pick up a cheap 223 barrel and cut it down to a FB to confirm their experiences but I dont see the need to unless Im wanting a 221FB for something other than my own experiences. Although.... A FB might be kinda fun too.
