[QUOTE="Trnelson, post: 1213286, member: 42308"] I haven't played with the 230 Berger OTM with any other powder than H4831sc. I like the better case fill ratio. Due to the large variation in brass capacity on the market I don't feel great posting what I am running. I worked up to my load .1grain at a time with a magnetospeed until I encountered the first indication of excessive pressure then I backed off to best accuracy. It is slightly more than the published load in the Berger reloading manual #1 but not much. use winchester brass weight sorted (184-187 grains naked). I bought 250 cases and ended up with 102 pieces that fit in that weight slot. Some were as heavy as 205 grains, some as light as 177 grains. With 205g brass I run into a slightly heavy bolt lift TWO full grains below their published data. I am running 2440 fps with an SD of 8. My other .30/06 wants about .4g less powder for best accuracy and runs 2390 in 188-192g Winchester brass . YMMV [/QUOTE]
