[QUOTE="Dollarhyde, post: 1933374, member: 21784"] I really hesitate to share any load data, especially with powders known to get squirrelly in summer temps. We sell so many barrels - in one gun a load will run 3070 and the same reamer and barrel type another gun will run 2970. Don't blow yourself up chasing ghosts! My 32" Blake Barrel runs 3405 fps with 63.6 gr RL26 loaded at 3.510" with wolf LR standard primers. This is a slower accuracy load for this barrel. This is with the Blackjack spec reamer. The SAAMI will work but I wouldn't expect the accuracy to carry over. The barrel can run faster but not much in this summer heat with RL26. Please don't just put that load into a WBY and pull the trigger. You might need a new plunger or a new hand. Work up with RL26 carefully! Work up with RL26 carefully! Don't blow yourself up! [/QUOTE]
