[QUOTE="Ohio06, post: 1006782, member: 70283"] The SD was around 8.9 I believe (Can't find the ES, know I wrote it down somewhere, but it was pretty low), keep in mind though I only fired 3 rounds of each over the chrono just to sanity check the loads. The 2000-MR load was derived from a 200 grain bullet suggested load out of Noslers reloading manual. There were zero pressure signs from these loads, even though they were the highest velocity. That being said, I've been sitting here reviewing the brass tonight and on the 43g of RL15 I noticed that two of the pieces of fired brass have just the lightest ejector mark on them. You can barely even feel it with a fingernail, and sometimes it's hard to see even though I know it's there. Everything else checked out good, I think I'm going to go with the 42.5 grain load and get some more worked up for Sunday. With the RL15 being slightly fast for this bullet I'm surprised I didn't see more pressure signs, but everything seemed good to go, minus the 43 grain loads. I'm also going to pick up another 100 pieces of brass tomorrow and get the RL17 loads made up. Anyone loaded these with RL17 behind them? Seems to be a lot of data around, so I'll gather that and see where I get. [/QUOTE]
