[QUOTE="Steve Shelp, post: 21803, member: 22"] sr90, My OAL is 3.925". That is setup to where the pressure ring of the bullet is seated approx .020" above the junction of the neck and shoulder of the case with a 300gr Sierra. As for powders R25 and H1000 for all out accuracy has worked the best for me. I've never tried the real slow burners for speed though. I've gone over 3000fps with the above powders so it would be intresting to see what it would do with H870 or the surplus powders. Also beleive it or not I get better numbers on the target and across the chrono using H1000 and Fed210 primers and NOT the 215 magnum primers. ssshhhh. don't tell anyone. And I've used this combo in matches down into the 30-40F range and won with it. FYI: The truck was loaded and I went to my local range on Sunday but no go. Not only did it stay VERY windy, but it was a public range and everyone and their brother was burning rounds up. Didn't have room to really setup my portable bench and chrono among the "brass chuckers". The thought of hot 7.62 brass dinging off from my very expensive bench guns wasn't very appealing to me anyway. Have a good one, Steve [/QUOTE]
