These were running in the 1600fps range at an outside temp of 17. My Lyman book shows 21gn as a max so I'll keep testing and see if they get any better, but I'm happy so far! I burned up the rest of a box of factory ammo at 100yds too, so I have more empty brass to load. The factory ammo goes about 2" at 100, I'm pretty sure I can better that with the reloads.
