[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1152791, member: 2736"] This is a 3 year old post but it is an interesting read none the less, and should be a warning to those that claim to or load to these levels. If you read all of the replies the general consensus is it cant or should not be believed or done. The most I could get with any accuracy was just under 3700 ft/sec with a 31" barrel without loosening the primer pockets with one firing. My recommendation is to get a bigger cartridge if you cant get the velocity you want without going to excessive pressures. (I like to run around 63,000 psi Max pressures now that I am older and wiser. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
