[QUOTE="DustThroughaFan, post: 2882200, member: 126551"] Got mine out this evening. N570, Norma brass, fed 215m, 215 hybrid. Started at 76gr went up 1gr at a time to 82grs. Only made it to 80. 76gr was slow, around 2760. 79 was right where I want to be for velocity but it had no pressure whatsoever. Felt like lifting the bolt on an empty chamber. Velocity was 2895. No pressure so I went for 80. Got a nice shiny spot on the case head so 79gr is my max. I'll load 78 up 79 next, probably in .3 increments and shoot groups. I will say I was kind of surprised. I just shot steel behind the house at around 230 yards. Standing off a tank trap with a fortune cookie. Group looked to be 2-3" with charge ranging from 76 to 80gr. Recoil wasn't bad. I could almost spot impacts. My rifle does have a good brake though and it weighs 15.6 pounds. Edit to add, my oal is 2.920" base to ogive. It's over 3.7" but I don't have a loaded round to measure right now. Gives me .020" jump at that length. [/QUOTE]
