[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1323919, member: 1656"] I've gone up to 102gr in my Edge for 2970-2990 fps (the barrel is new and seems to be speeding up a bit). It's a 30" McGowan. I stopped there as the results were strinkingly good, and I was just starting to see the primer corners flatten a bit so I called "good enough" with these expensive Nosler cases. No ejector or bolt lift at all. ES was 15-20fps. I don't doubt someone could get to 106gr, but I saw no need to press it that far and do believe based on my ladder that I'd see pressure signs and shortened case life if I pressed it over 3000fps consistently. Given my original goal the more typical 2850fps reported with H1000, needless to say I'm happy. Thus far, accuracy has been awesome. My initial ladder went into an oblong hole at 100 that was impossible to learn anything from. After deciding on 102gr I was able to shoot a few groups at 833 yards. Vertical on ALL groups was <.5 MOA. The one 3-shot group I got off in steady wind was 1-3/8 inches. [/QUOTE]
