[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 1064161, member: 63138"] NW Hunter QuickLoad is of marginal use when it comes to predicting pressure. More often than not I find it to be 10,000 psi low and other times it can be pretty close. You are better off checking for sticky bolt and flat primers. According to Berger's handbook you should be a bit hot. They list 75.5 gr H1000 as max load giving 2,804 fps out of a 26" barrel. That would be more like 2,750 fps out of your 24 inch barrel. They are a bit conservative though so it is possible you are OK but I kind of doubt it at almost 2 grains over max. Having said all that, if you are not seeing pressure signs, I'd use it - at least until I lost some brass due to loose primer pockets. [/QUOTE]
