[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2201096, member: 87243"] Part of the reason is strong brass, which the brass is the main limiting factor. Quick load may say to stop at 58,000 psi or whatever is set to it, but that doesn't mean at 62,000 psi everything falls apart. And also, your quick load data isn't even close to what I see in mine, 70 grains would be very hot in this rifle, and my bullets are HBN coated to boot. 66.5 grains gets me 3085 fps, see my attached graph for my data in my rifle. [ATTACH=full]275161[/ATTACH] Point being, quick load, while a useful tool, is far from the end all be all. Same goes with load data from some random guy on the internet, be it me, you, or anyone else. Everybody has to find the acceptable parameters for their set up. I have seen guns made by the same smith with the same reamer be 150 fps or more apart with the same loads and barrel length. Guns vary, so it is more important to know how to read real world pressure signs than a computer program, albeit a useful one Sorry to the O.P., this is rather off topic. [/QUOTE]
