[QUOTE="awesymoto, post: 1879607, member: 97636"] Just did some testing today. Factory Proof Research 300 PRC pre-fit for TL3. 26" 1:9. Chrono speeds from magneto speed. I run ~ 0.002" of neck tension via expander mandrels but use a 0.334 bushing on neck turned skim cut Hornady brass. I was 0.020" off and did 77.5, 78.0 and 78.5, yielded 2896, 2905, and then 2949 fps respectively. Very light extractor marks on all of them, but cannot feel anything. This has become normal for me in the TL3, it did the same in 2 different 28 Nosler barrels at low load levels due to the huge extractor cut out for CRF actions. Used FG215M primers, I suspect 80 grains of H1000 will kill brass from what I've read everywhere else ie primer pockets are done after 1 reload. People I talk to that shoot this gun at 79.2-79.5 grains and get 5+ reloads but i'm staying at 78.5, its fast enough for me, and yielded 0.46 MOA at 100. Havent checked velocity spread yet just put the barrel on last night. [/QUOTE]
