[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1270602, member: 87243"] I have not tried it with these bullets, I'm interested as well to see how long the brass will last, and I plan on finding out. I will keep this thread updated as I go along. My load that I have fired 3 or 4 firings of in this brass is with H4831sc pushing a 140 at 2930, which is a full grain under my max with that powder/bullet combo. If you wanted to do 3000+ with a 147 for sure, I would go SAUM...I was blown away by the velocity, I certainly was not expecting it. But once I find a load I'm satisfied with and have played enough with it, I will do trajectory validation as well to confirm my velocity readings. I know equipment can fail or be wring...but I should add that on the same range session, prior to shooting the 147's, I also shot a 5 shot string of my tried and true load with the 140 Bergers, that I know and have validated to produce 2930 at 65 degrees, as a control, and my average of the 5 was 2921 with 9 fps E.S., which seems right considering it was 20 degrees, 45 below where I chronoed it going 2930. So I believe the speeds I was getting are accurate... [/QUOTE]
