[QUOTE="BEEMAN, post: 1159746, member: 38130"] Yes both myself and a friend are right at 3000 fps. I use Nosler brass and he uses Privi or PPU I believe. The PPU brass is a bit heavier so he runs 1 gr less for the same velocity. We are not really showing any pressure signs. Some brass has a very slight ejector mark. Bolt lift is always light, and primers are not flat. We both use H1000 with FED GM 215M primers. I started at 73 gr of H1000 and stopped at 79 gr. Could probably go a bit higher but I know we are close to max and the guns shoot SO GOOD we stopped at 79 gr. Every load from 73 to 79 produced a ragged one hole group at 100 yds. I have never had a gun shoot so good with every load I tried. I believe the speed we get is due to the reamer that BROZ recommended for me. It allows us to seat the bullet way out and use all the case capacity. I know Broz was getting a bit higher velocity than we are but also has a 28" barrel I believe. Both guns were chambered with this reamer and other than the 1 gr lower powder charge they are loaded identical. Drops are dead on out to 910 yds (as far as I can shoot). My best group at 500 yds was right at 2 inches. [/QUOTE]
