[QUOTE="CaptnC, post: 1825728, member: 101755"] Well antelope, I'm just spent a few hour at the range earlier today testing some loads. South wind was gusting so haRd even leaning against a cement shooting bench you still moved from the wind... Bit it looks like I'm still well below a "true" max load with the Hybrid 100V. Even though I'm way over the max listed. I chose Hybrid 100V because it lists 270 and 280 loads right on the label. The max charge for a 270 is 56gr. While the max load for the 6.5-06 is only 49gr. The 280 with a 160gr. bullet is over the 6.5 at 52gr. It does list both as compressed. I can see there is plenty of room for more powder...on the label it even lists a max load in the 243 being compressed. I'm at 50.1gr...far from a compressed load and knocking on the door of 3100fps. There is a nice noid between 49.5 and 49.8, so I'm not sure I could reach the next one without over pressuring the cartridge. The 50.1 cases looked no different than 49.3 cases, no signs of pressure on the primers...bolt still smooth as butter...so I believe I have a little more room going up. [/QUOTE]
