[QUOTE="EZShooter, post: 99143, member: 5305"] Remington 25 - I second everyone's cautions.... Sierra 5th Edition lists 97.3 gr. MAX... 3,250 FPS out of a 26" barreled Savage. Also, you probably already know this, but moly can affect pressure, are you shooting coated bullets? It tends to reduce pressure. Another thing - a lot of my BR buddies wince when I start talking about pressure signs, seems that a common opinion is that if you are shooting a custom gun (with a polished / well cut chamber) bolts don't get sticky. Depending on the primer your using, that may not show signs either... Federal usually do, Winchester are tougher, IMHO. The only consensus I got from my buddies on pressure signs were shiny spots, shiny extractor marks on the brass case heads. BUT, if you have gotten here, you are way in (up) to far, back down a couple percent of load. Trying to remember at what PSI brass flows.... I want to say 85K Psi, not for sure. Just my 2c.
