[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 111782, member: 319"] I think I'm going to like this powder. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Unfortunately the range was fairly crowded today and I didn't feel like messing with the chronograph so I didn't get any velocities, sorry. But I felt like shooting the ones I loaded up to check for pressure signs anyway. Here were the results: [img]http://www.jonaadland.com/Hunting/A-Bolt/Targets/First240US869Try.jpg[/img] Load developement? What's that? 5 different powder charges in new crappy Rem brass, bullets just seated to fit the mag (3.6"), one shot with a clean bore.... I think this combo might have some potential. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] I also fired 101 and 102 grains, but since I had already put 5 into that hole (and it was so pretty) I shot the last two at a different target. They would have opened the group little, if any. No pressure signs at all, even at 102 grains. I really expected to hit one before then or I would have loaded a 103. I have to be getting close...time to bust out the chronograph. [/QUOTE]
