[QUOTE="SamSpade, post: 163467, member: 2911"] Vic, My first 3 shots with 57 grains were touching and as I progressed they stayed that way, the pix is of the final 60 grain loads. I didn't have time to chrony the loads because I start my load development looking for accuracy and worry about velocity later. I load at the range range so I can vary my loads as I test. I load 6 rounds and shoot 3 with each rifle, while the barrels are cooling I load 6 more of the next charge and so on. The Hodgdon website says the maximum load is 59.8 grains using WLRM primers at 2927 fps out of a 24" barrel. I have found the loading manuals to be close to my chrony on velocity. One rifle is 25.5" and the other is 23.5" so I would guess that I am in the 2950-3000 fps. The 2" longer barrel usually only gives me about 50fps faster velocities. I didn't see any high pressure signs at the 60 grain load (heavy bolt/case head scowering) so in the future I might shoot it over the chrony and push the load up a little??
