[QUOTE="Trnelson, post: 1396334, member: 42308"] Exactly Steve! That is a great point of clarity, especially with a cartridge as over-bore as a 264winmag. Don’t waste valuable barrel life trying to ‘make’ something shoot. I load three rounds at each charge level I want to try. I shoot the first of each to run a quick ladder for pressure and velocity. If it shows acceptable velocity and safe results I MIGHT shoot the other two. Usually working backwards from the last SAFE load. I expect to see an obvious accuracy window between 3,160 FPS and 3,190 FPS with 140g class bullets such as the berger 140g hybrid and the Hornady 143 ELDX. No reason to burn up barrel life and shoot anything much outside that window. [/QUOTE]
