[QUOTE="toddc, post: 1268666, member: 4566"] I bought one of these New Years eve and shot it yesterday. Virgin Lapua brass. 3.715 COAL with 300SMK and H-1000 with same primer as OP. 88gr 2650 89 2670 90 2690 91 2750 92 2820 No pressure signs at all. Primers are pristine. Bolt lift didn't increase until 92. Still nothing even remotely scary at 92. Feels like it could take more but I will probably be done there. It's fast enough. My Edges always started pressuring up much past 90 but at 2850 with a 30" tube. This is my 1st Lapua rig so I'm gonna take it easy and enjoy the brass. According to the brass 92 gr would be livable but with a 300 SMK the accuracy matters more than the speed. I've chased speed a lot with the Edge and ES and accuracy matter a lot more. [/QUOTE]
