[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 844568, member: 10"] Taking a quick look at some different load data sources, it looks like 2750-2800 fps is about max that they all recommend with a 129-130 gr bullet weight but all are loaded to roughly 45,000 to 50,000 psi for the older rifles that the Swede was chambered in. In a modern rifle, this chambering will easily handle modern chamber pressures into the +60,000 psi range easily which will give a noticeable boost in velocity. You are at the upper range or slightly over what I have found so I would say stay there. Your accuracy is top notch, your extreme spreads are perfect, could not be better. Do not push things any harder and get off paper targets and get out and start practicing with some practical field testing to get your drop chart developed and proven. I would say your load development is DONE!!! [/QUOTE]
