Thanks! Good article but the muzzle velocities are way optimistic, or my chrony is way off.

Dangit, my record keeping sucks. I couldn't find my numbers on the 19.5", but I did find post-its with numbers for 10.5" and 14.5" with the Hornady factory Amax load.

I got:

10.5" averaged 2179fps bare, and 2198fps with the can on.

14.5" averaged 2448fps with the can on.

I had a bunch of numbers, but after I posted them on the old board I didn't keep track of anything. In retrospect that was a bad idea.... So much for using the net for data storage.LOL My chronies aren't the greatest (Shooting Chrony "Gamma", and I think the other one is an "Alpha"), but those were the numbers I got. I wish I could find the other numbers, because I remember talking to Bill W. about how hot the first Hornady numbered out of the 19.5". As I recall it was pretty darn warm. I haven't measured any of the later batches.

In hindsight it really kills me that the old board is dead, because I kind of used it to keep all of my Grendel info. I'd get numbers and measurements (scratched on post its and scrap paper), post them up, and then refer back to the board when I needed to know something. I only have random nonsensical piles of post-its now. (insert "facepalm" smiley here!)
