[QUOTE="Jimm, post: 94382, member: 9"] Hey guys , This mountain rifle only has a 22" bbl. However I'm not at all sure that is enough for the velocity differences I'm seeing in a recent ladder test . Max listed H4831 in the latest Nosler guide is 58 grs.for a 140 gr. ballistic tip. That load is shown to be producing 3000 fps out of a 24" bbl. ( velocities obtained with a Oehler 35p with 8 ft. screen spacing ) Well , in my sons remington mt. rifle with a 22" bbl. it is only producing 2788 fps [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] . Bullet is loaded ten thou off the rifling. Once fired rrem brass full prep. I'm thinking that I need to go to a faster powder but I also want to carry out this ladder till pressure signs appear . What say you all ? Is it potentially worth it to continue with powder or am I barking up the wrong tree ? At this point I thinking to load from 58 to 59.2 and go back to the range . Thanks as always for your advice /input , Jim Brown [/QUOTE]
