[QUOTE="nkyshooter, post: 2143135, member: 83787"] We 100% agree the 50.6 was too hot - I got a very clear very shiny perfect circle on the ejector ... that was my first sign of pressure and fortunately was also the last/highest I had loaded for the test. Forgetting about the velocities for the moment since there is valid question on its accuracy - my gut feel (based on a LOT of reloading at this point) is that around 50 give or take is the max in my rifle (Hornady 11th ed says 49.9g is max). If my velocities are wrong BUT wrong "consistently" - I have a very good node in the 47.5-48.5 charge weight which "should" be a nice full capacity yet not too hot a load with some pressure margin of error if shooting in another 40-50 deg F warmer ... I'll be interested to see what QL says with 56.0g as the h2o capacity - [USER=11011]@jimbires[/USER] 1st QL results showed the "usable" capacity for the "default" case was just over 47g h2o but I don't know the definition of "usable" ... is that to the mouth? ... or to the neck/shoulder? ... 🤷♂️ My h2o weights were to the mouth. BTW - in the FL sized cases during the ladder - I was compressing a bit and in increasing amounts of course beginning around 49.5 or even just under using a 2.795 COAL. [/QUOTE]
