[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 2082325, member: 4809"] I always cringe when I post my max load data. Please understand that the loads below represent max data in my rifle - not yours. Always start several grains lower and work up while looking for ant signs of pressure. For me, max load is one whole grain below where I first started to notice higher-than-normal pressure. With this rifle, it was usually a very light, but slightly sticky bolt lift. I worked up in 0.5 grain increments. I live in AZ so average temperature during testing was 72-75 degrees, probably warmer than what you will encounter when shooting. [B]Rifle Data:[/B] Action: Tikka T3X Barrel: Proof Research Carbon - 22" length and 1 in 7.5 twist Brass: ADG 6.5 PRC Primers: Fed 215 Mag Primers (will try 210's later) Chrony: Magnetospeed V3 [B][I]Barnes LRX 129 gr.
