[QUOTE="liltank, post: 303110, member: 13275"] I use 70.0 H1000 running a 200grn SMK at 2806fps using a F215 primer. If I go much higher I get pressure signs. 71.5 grns is my limit with this powder and it does not group well. I went to this powder because my rifle is throated very long. The H1000 helps to fill the space between the bullet and the powder. It started life as a Mod 12 Low Profile in a .308. I had it throated long for the 208 A-Max, but could not get them to fly right. I built another .308 and made this one into a 300WSM. Still factory barrel, trigger, and action. The only real upgrade is a muzzle break so I can chase the shot and bench it for as long as I like with out pain. I am a recoil sissy. What I am finding is that this barrel must be a little tighter than most. I can never run the higher loads everybody else shoots with out getting a bunch of pressure signs. I have resigned myself to shooting slower speeds with this barrel. I would like to be in the 2950+ range, but can't seem to get there. I have tried H4350 and 4831sc to get more velocity, but there is too much space between the bullet and the powder. My ES's where extreme and could not get them to settle down any. I really want to try the RL17, but don't think it will help. It is what it is. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
