[QUOTE="Starlite, post: 1935535, member: 112246"] OP, not sure if you have the mag length to get to a longer COAL (Not what the manuals states) where there is another sweet spot; still off the lands (Jump) and not in the lands (jam). if you can safely lengthen the COAL you’ll likely be able to get more powder into your brass. Again if your not in a jam situation you’ll be happily surprised how much more powder you can attain without increasing pressure to a dangerous level Or having a compressed load. You just have to be able to measure that Maximum COAL accurately (for that given projectile) In that particular rifle. Anyhow, I’m rambling and deviating from your original post. Just was reading what others have stated WRT increasing velocity (myself included I guess) so thought I’d mention this. I’m sure there are lots of posts and threads on how to do that. Assuming you don’t know this. My apologies if you do and have. further side note; I find that newer made rifles and adapting to the newer longer projectiles (Better BCs) with the ever popular LRS/LRH. Sako S20 for example. sorry. Done babbling. [/QUOTE]
