[QUOTE="BLC3128, post: 1827488, member: 101837"] 88.4 with a COAL of 3.710” gave me ~3050. Again, I ran it hotter and it was accurate , but tough on brass. Please note its a bulky powder. A drop tube may be necessary. Also, pay attention to your brass. If you are truly chasing velocity of 3100FPS I suspect it won’t be too hard on brass however don’t expect amazing brass life. I would start out with 85 and work my way up 1/2 grain at a time until you hit pressure signs. IMO if you are interested in raw horsepower and overbore cartridges - decreased brass life/ increased throat erosion have already been considered and are known. Your barrel will heat up very quickly. N570 burns hot! [/QUOTE]
