I haven't finished up working on the load . it's been raining about everyday , and now it's turkey season . I can give you my results so far . 43 or 43.5 is supposed to be around the max load , so anything over that proceed with caution . my rifle showed no pressure so on day 2 I added more powder and tested higher . day 1 40*F elevation 1700 41.5 gr .............2465fps 42.0..................2458fps 42.5..................2525fps 43.0..................2587fps right in here is supposed to be a max load 43.5..................2652fps 44.0..................2672fps 44.5..................2711fps day 2 30*F . the battery was dieing in my chrony .
