[QUOTE="Jed Cooper, post: 1963279, member: 115246"] New member here from NC and howdy. I know pressure signs can be difficult to read sometimes, so I'll share my info for any comments and thanks! The rifle is a new Ruger Guide Gun in 338WM. Currently I'm using new Hornady brass, WLRM primers, RL19 and 225gr SST's. I've worked up to 72.5grs of RL19 in new brass running 2.494". The primers are slightly flattened, and the necks are slightly smoked to the shoulder. I wish I had some chrono data to share, but it's on the fritz. Hornady data suggests the max charge for this combo is 73.3grs of RL19. Recoil is mild, but I'm using the brake and bolt lift is smooth as butter. The smoked necks are telling me I not at max pressure, but wanted some input on the load. Thanks [/QUOTE]
