[QUOTE="QQQQQ, post: 2262668, member: 6410"] Update for those who care, I finally got around to shooting H4350 with 80gn HH out of my kids compact Ruger American 243. I started at 41gn and went to 46.5 gn in .5 gn increments. I initially loaded 41-45 gn but never saw pressure signs so I loaded 45-46.5. From the first group set I figured 46.5 should get me around the 3300fps and stopped there. I shot the 45gn twice to ensure the readings from the second set would be credible with the readings from the first set. I did not notice a heavy bolt lift on any of these. The 46.5 may have almost lifted a little heavier than the others but not by much. I could not see a difference from the 41gn primer to the 46.5 primer, no flattening or heavy crater. In the pictures the 41gn is on the left and 46.5 is on the right. PLEASE if I am missing any over pressure indicator, point it out to me. So I believe I will continue with a load at 44.8 and a load at 46.2 and see what groups look like. [/QUOTE]
