[QUOTE="jb1023, post: 1355571, member: 91995"] So I finally made it out to the range yesterday. Since most seem to prefer to find charge first and depth second I decided to go that route also. Temp started at 36* and warmed up to about 41*. I loaded up 59.0-60.8 of H1000 in .2gr increments, did not do RL26 yet as I want to work on one at a time. I loaded up 3 rds for barrel warm up using 3 cases that I trimmed a to short, but figure they will be fine for this purpose, and loaded them up with 59.0gr. Back on the 8th I got 2994 on my 59.0 max load test. Other than the 3 warm up rds each round had a minimum of 90 seconds between rds to keep the barrel fairly cool. The 3 warmup rds were 2992, 2992, 2985. Then I move on to my regular loads and got the following: 59.0 [B]3,063[/B] 59.2 3,058 59.4 3,086 59.6 3,080 59.8 3,095 60.0 3,084 60.2 3,101 60.4 3,125 60.6 3,126 60.8 3,137 Should I run the test again or...? I see a couple of 2 rd flat spots but no 3 rd flat spots, as demonstrated by Scott, as well as a few that seem to be bucking the curve (59.0, 59.2, 59.8). Would love to hear your thoughts. [/QUOTE]
