[QUOTE="Hawk in WY, post: 2358673, member: 70947"] Different rifle, slightly different bullet. I started at 73.3 with RL-23 and the 180 HH, Norma brass in 26 inch Proof carbon fiber barrel and hit pressure immediately, ejector marks and stiff bolt lift. The chronograph showed I was well over pressure. I pulled the remaining bullets and will work up from 69.1 grains for the next test. I suspect my barrel will pressure out before 3,000 fps. May then go to RL-26. Every rifle is different. Start low and work up. [/QUOTE]
