josebd,

 The new Hornady manual has 21.7-24.9gr of varget behind their 60 grain pills....24.9gr should give ya right around 3000 with 26" bbl

hhhhmmmm,well i dont know which to believe,why does hodgdon show more than hornady?26.4 for the 63 grain 3199 velocity,27.5 for the 55 grain. and i have shot the 26.0,26.2,26.4,26.6 and tha cases and primers looked fine

Good question.. Cant answer why that would be maybe hornady is just being careful?? I know there speed is aproxmate since it is all rounded.. The manual I have I just bought at Gander Mountain its the 6th edition 2 book set...
