[QUOTE="Chopaka81, post: 310529, member: 9217"] Today I got in a brief range session with the Rummy, 208gr AMAX's, Fed 215GM primers, RP Brass, and US869 powder. The results were very promising. nice groups, 0.4 to 0.8 @ 100 meters. No signs of pressure even at 101.0 grs of US869. I did not cronograph the loads, I was mainly looking for pressure sings and then accuracy. I mic'd the case heads and I have not detected expansion. Today I shot 4 rds of each charge, stopping to clean the bore after each 4 shot group. After cleaning I fired a fowling shot from the next level and then 3 for accuracy. I seat my bullets out just off the lands, they are to long for the magazine. I did not measure the COL, I will post it later. I am going to continue in 0.4 grs steps upwards from 102.0 grs to 104.4 grs using the same components listed above. I will cronograph from here up. Wonder how everyone is doing? [/QUOTE]
