[QUOTE="Rhett Crider, post: 1707363, member: 105034"] Chesspunker, according to QuickLoads, it's possible to attain that MV w/ RL16 but [U]you're on the edge of pressuring out[/U] when hitting the faster node. I used 2.900 for OAL and at 1.33ms(26" barrel), the predicted MV of 3008FPS is w/ 49.1g of RL16 and is safe to start at. To get to over 3200, you'll need to work up to 53.9g which predicts 3242MV at 1.90ms node. [B]Again, this is on the very edge of pressure!![/B] Since Hammer bullets are not in the bullet file, I took the Barnes 120TSX-BT and edited the weight and length to match the HH124. RL16 is available and temp stable. I use it in my 25-06 and my sons 270 and 6.5CM. I would start at 48.0g since this is predicted data, to catch the lower node also. Might run it by Steve too. I'm sure he's tested it. Rhett [/QUOTE]
