[QUOTE="Fitch, post: 376799, member: 19372"] Related to the last sentence. I have no clue who claims to be pushing 180 Bergers with 53g of RL17 in a .284 Winchester but I sure wouldn't do that. My QuickLOAD model says that's a 96,000 psi load which is [B]33,000 psi[/B] [B]"over"[/B] max. That probably is way over the factory proof load. I don't see how that could be a good thing. FWIW: QuickLOAD says 52.4g @ ~3,240 fps, 55,700 psi is max or close to it for the 120g Barnes TSX in a .284 Winchester. There isn't a TTSX bulle tin the library and since I don't have one to measure I can't enter it but I'd not expect it to be much different than the TSX. I'd back off to 49 or 50 grains, work up carefully keeping an eye on the chronograph readings, brass, and group size. Fitch [/QUOTE]
