[QUOTE="Browninglover1, post: 1043509, member: 29966"] My load of 41 grains of RL17 with a 140 Berger gives me 2850 in temperatures between 40 and 90 degrees. I lose almost 100 fps in temperatures below freezing though and just worked up a load with 42 grains that gives me over 2800fps in freezing temperatures. If the trend holds true it should deliver over 2900 fps in warm weather; and it very well may toast my brass at that point too lol. By the way I'm at 7 firings with my 41.0 grain load at 2850 and haven't lost a single piece of brass yet. 2800 fps in a 25" barrel has not been hard for me to achieve with H4350 and RL17 has given me 50-100 fps better so 2900 fps is not unreasonable in some rifles although I do agree it's substantially faster than should be expected.
