My chrony bit the dust a long time ago, so I can't state what velocities they are running. Mind you, most of my reloads are reduced loads, so I'm only pushing them to at most 1500 fps, I'm guessing.
Without optics, I can barely focus on the front sight, let alone a target beyond 50 yards, so I wouldn't put much faith in any of my accuracy results.
I can say that I initially ran some plain-based .30-30 LRNFP in the K31 when I first started reloading and couldn't hit a B-27 target at 50 yards. My brother suggested I slow them down and bam, they printed right where I was aiming.
In other words, you'll have to try them and figure it out for yourself, I guess.
Off the top of my head, I think the 150 gr PFNs that I have boxed up are filled with 12.5gr of Lil Gun.
The flat-nose doesn't always favor fast cycling, but for slow-firing it can be chambered with a little patience.
Sounds like a Goshen farm trip with a chronograph is in order.
