[QUOTE="Kennibear, post: 882034, member: 51650"] I shoot the 260AB in a 375 Ruger from a Savage 116 with a factory custom 26" barrel. 79.5grs of WW760 yields 3022fps with absolute max pressure (Pressure Trace II says 62kpsi). For this much powder I always use a Fed 215 LRM primer. My son gets top velocities out of 7828 in his 300 WinMag but RL 19 has proved very promising in his gun. As the 300 WinMag has a bore ratio closer to the 375 RUM I would try that powder. It has a high energy density and the burn rate is very close to 4831/7828. Since my rifle is generating similar velocity to yours the load you are using is not optimum. Try a different powder and switch to the Fed 215LRM primer. They make it in a match version also I believe. [/QUOTE]
