I have read the entire thread. I do not remember reading where anyone Chrono graphed the factory ammunition to verify the advertised speed. I believe Hornady load data is worked up with a 24" barrel, in a Bolt Action.
I like to check the speed on factory ammunition to see what it does in my gun, and work on my handloads with that information in mind. I would work with CFE223, AA2520/SW Match Rifle, or Lever to start with. You should be able to get very close to where you want to be with one of them.
Years ago I was reloading 308 ammunition for practice ammo. I was trying to match the velocity of Federal Gold Medal Match 168 Loads. I ended up using Magnum Match Primers to match the Velocity of the factory ammunition. Sometimes it takes research and experimentation to get the desired results.
