[QUOTE="300wbyeddie, post: 1344141, member: 92828"] I am a fairly new re-loader, about two seasons and I just purchased a chronograph. I have been using Berger 185gr classic hunter bullets, IMR 4831, 78 grains Norma brass and Winchester rifle magnum primers. The Berger manual say that this should give me around 3000 fps, but it's only giving me 2650. So I switched to 7828ssc, started at 78 grains and only got 2700 FPS, I moved to 80 grains. the manual says this should give me over 3000 fps, but I am still at 2800. I checked my scale, it's fine, I checked the chronograph with some Weatherby factory loads and they were exactly where they should be. What else could be the problem? [/QUOTE]
