[QUOTE="RedRanger328, post: 2217564, member: 118838"] Hey guys, thanks for the replies! I think my 41.7gr load might be the ticket, there's an errant shot there because the guys next to me suddenly started rattling off rounds in a mag dump as I was pulling the trigger. I did 5 groups from 40.5-42 gr and then did single pressure load tests up to 43.2gr. 43.2 was the point I was getting pressure warnings on the brass and a bit flattened primers. I loaded up another set of groups to test at 41.7 (to confirm), 42.5, and 43.1 just to see if it could shrink. We forgot the Chrono, so that stinks, but the Hornady book says 41.7 should be pushing about 2550, I think. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_20210611_191451.jpg"]279229[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
