[QUOTE="toddc, post: 735750, member: 4566"] I have had a few edge barrels Ive gone thru. I have settled on about 2850 with a 300 SMK because I still have a very large box left. Anything over 2850 HAMMERS brass. But I remember on my 2nd barrel I tried some heavier loads with both nosler and rem brass that hit 3k with no other pressure signs than 1-2 shot brass. I hit 3150 somehow once and lived but could sure taste pressure. 2x4 on the bolt but no hammer. Remembering back I think the only reason I really stuck on 2850 is because I was tired of buying brass every 2nd shot. Gun ate it fine, primers were ok and accuracy and consistency were all there just detonated primer pockets. If this Bertram Brass is as good as the aussies on here said it was can we expect a little more oooomph with the Bertram if we want it? I realize 3k may be a hair much but I dont know I have some guys tell me they see 3k also. 2850 works all day long but 3k sounds better. At least till a +P gets here. [/QUOTE]
