[QUOTE="X-man, post: 804516, member: 8416"] You might think I am being a blowhard..I understand, but hear me out. You are loading 190s over 64 grains of IMR-4831 for 3050fps right??? Hodgdon (pressure tested data) lists the 300RSAUM with 65.5grs of H-4831 (0.5 gr slower in a 300) for 2811fps @ 62,800psi. Pretty much the same powder charge, but you are running 240fps faster in a case you say is larger?...How can that be? If your case is larger than the RSAUM you would be running slower with the same powder charge right? With the 300Winchester Hodgdon lists 72.5 grains of IMR-4831 for 2951fps at 61,200psi That is 100fps SLOWER with 8.5 grains MORE powder in a cartridge that is under 61,200psi? How do you explain that? Your case is bigger than the 300Winchester? I understand that you do not believe me...no problem....So phone Hodgdon (913-362-9455) and prove me wrong! I have seen cases over 80,000psi that showed no signs of pressure. My buddy and his 416 Rem was a classic example....he swore up and down that my pressure sensor was trash. Bottom line was I phoned Hodgdon then handed my buddy the phone. A few seconds later the color faded from my buddies face? Turns out the Hodgdon employee asked why his voice was so loud????? My buddy replied he wasn't being loud??...The Hodgdon employee said, "well you are **** well the loudest dead man I have ever heard!" My buddy went home and fixed his load. I'm not trying to be a dick here, just trying to save you some serious grief. I am happy to phone them on your behalf? [/QUOTE]
