[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2380518, member: 116181"] I'll be honest I've never used it, but it's extruded, Hodgdon marks max load as compressed, and this is a 223 REM - so are you using a drop tube? 2830FPS doesn't look out of the realm of possibility for a 16" barrel, this test data is for a 24" tube.
