[QUOTE="Topshot, post: 440270, member: 13285"] If you have 0.125" to the lands then use it! It sounds like you have about the same throat length as I have in my Edge. I have loaded up to 98gn of H1000 behind the 300SMK and CCI 250 primer, before pressure sings were too high. I do however use Remington cases so take that into account! I now shoot 93gn for good case life and accuracy. Seat the bullets out further at about 0.020" off the lands and start again. This may reduce your pressure signs with that 92.5gn load. However those Nosler cases might be the problem. Try and record your case head diameter with a micrometer with each powder charge. I find this the best indication for pressure. As far as velocity goes, 2800 fps may be beyond your rifle with that barrel and moderate case pressure. 2750 to 2780 will still get the job done and give better case life. [/QUOTE]
