[QUOTE="PowellSixO, post: 879697, member: 66495"] I agree, that is smokin!!! I am extremely sensitive to detail when loading my rounds. No I don't have any pressure signs. I was able to shoot 71.5 gr of H1000 before I had a heavy bolt lift and had signs of high pressure when finding my max load. I'm only shooting 69.4 gr as of now. I have been using the same 40 pieces of brass for 7 firings now. The brass is in good shape still, so I'm where I need to be. Tomorrow I am going to go back to the range and do exactly what you mentioned. I am going to get my drops from 200 all the way to 800 yards. Then I am going to input the information to get my fps. I don't really trust my chrony, considering how cheap it was to buy. I'll be sure to take pictures of everything this time to show everyone. I took the day off from work to do it:D. My elk hunt is getting too close for me to not be exact on my drops. From 100 to 500 I am 100% confident in my abilities. But from my scouting trips, I may have to take a 600-700 yard shot which I feel about 75% confident in taking right now. 75% isn't enough for me to take a shot at this time. I'm a firm believer in being 100% sure in your shot. So hopefully in the next two weeks I can be at that point. [/QUOTE]
