[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 2276564, member: 10429"] I was at Sportmans when I seen the data in the Speer manual for RL26 I was thinking of going a little higher with the H4350 but I'm trying to stay at mag length and good groups. I'm pretty sure though anything above the 45 grains and the 162ELDX will be compressed. I dont know how the pressure will spike either. When I did this with another rifle I went at 0.2 grain increments. Sometimes I don't think all the extra testing was worth the extra 75fps but I did buy this gun to tinker with. Tomorrow I'm going to try IMR4895. This powder worked great in a 308 that I used to own and it did not have bad swings with the temp. I never shot it above 85 degrees though. If I shot in the summer it was at day break. Also this gave me the best wind conditions and no one else around either. I had a little spot that I could shoot out to 1100yrds without being bothered. Just me and every once in a while a deer or 3 or a few lopes. In another spot that I would shoot I had several lopes and 2 herds of 15 or more deer that generally would frequent the canyon. There was one buck that was steller but only a 3X3. The mass he was carrying in his horns were amazing. Wide somewhat tall but just super heavy antlers all the way up to the tips. Looked like someone had put some pointed cones on coke cans. I watched this deer for about 3 years and finally drew a tag. Though this would be the easiest hunt for a great animal and then the infamous lake mountains caught fire. This was in Utah (mountains to the west of Utah lake). Blew almost every deer and antelope out of the area. Never seen that deer again. Went the whole season only seeing 2 bucks that were 2points. A few years later I seen something that may had been an offspring of the 3X3. It was another buck running with about 5 does that was only a 3X3 with not as much mass but still carried his mass all the way up almost to the tips. It was a like a week or 2 before hunting season.
