[QUOTE="WoodTRD, post: 2845279, member: 121978"] I get very close to the same speeds with 29.5 LVR vs 30.0 CFE, but LVR seemed to ramp up pressure quickly above 29.5. Very possibly due to the 95 degree heat I was shooting in. I may revisit again when I'm loading with 450s instead of 400s. I'm pretty sure the 31.0 LVR load I tried that pierced 2/5 was ~2850 with a 108, I'd have to check my notes to be exact, it was SMOKING for a 20" barrel, especially since I wasn't even quite to book max, and loading a bit longer than book. I'm curious how much velocity change with temp I get with both CFE and LVR. If I can get a good enough sample across a wide enough range of temps strelok should make adjusting for it relatively easy. I'd prefer not to have to work up summer, fall, and winter loads if I can help it. I had high hopes for staball match to be a truly temp stable ball powder, but with the data hodgdon just put out with it in an ARC, it won't get me to the speeds I want anyway...and is $$$. [/QUOTE]
