Makes sense. Not going to worry about it, was just curious how I was at that velocity 1/2g under the max load. If I remember right win cases hold a bit more than hornady. Either way thanks all. No pressure signs and groups are good so no worries. Might go back down to 44g play with seating depth.

No not all. With 150’s and 45.5 of imr4895 I’m getting 2850 avg velocities. Starting to wonder if it’s just a fast barrel?

I’ve thought of that too. It’s a magneto speed. I’m going to have to shoot and check what the drops are.

Good question, I have to weight them. Nowhere near compressed with that load though. Just popped out a primer and weighed one. 166.2

Shootong 175 smk’s average velocity was 2666. But weren’t grouping. Reworked the load and backed the coal down to 2.8. Now up to same charge weight and velocity is average 2700fps. Grouping good and no pressure signs. Surprised in a velocity increased though. Any thoughts? Same can of powder...

Ok, not too far

Thanks Barryd

Thanks for all the input guys. I guess I'll make the drive a couple weeks and see how does at longer ranges before I mess around with it more.

I'd like to try that this one. Not sure where I could go around here to try at 1000. 600yd range I can find no problem. * Actually I take that back, just found a 1k range 70 miles away.* lol

Thanks guys. Well, right now looking to get out to 600yds. It's actually amazing to me that a factory rifle is doing this well.

Hi all, new to the hide. I know this question has most likely been beat to death but here it goes, Started reloading for a new rifle, this one really got me curious because seems it doesn't matter cold bore, hot, it puts everything in the same place. So I just want to have some fun and how far I...

Been following the hide for a while. Finally started reloading last few years and looking to get a bit more active in learning and stretching my rifles. Nothing fancy, just factory guns. Pretty much for my own enjoyment.
