[QUOTE="jmden, post: 134760, member: 1742"] REV, look at the pressure for max load on US 869...well below max for the case which is 65K. Compare that to the max pressure for the other powders and some basic extrpolation may be in order...it's likely that 869 would be a good powder choice. Most folks are finding they can get much more out of US 869 before pressure signs than what the books say. Just start low and work up to see what your rifle/powder/bullet/seating depth/etc. can take before you see pressure at the temps you plan to shoot in. Any of Hodgdon's "Extreme" powders will show some pressure changes in most rifle combinations so they are not the holy grail of reloading--for most of us, that is. Some folks seem to get excellent consistency over a huge temp range with the Extremes, but if I recall correctly, I think that's the exception rather than the rule. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
