[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1297381, member: 12193"] Correct. At 3.900" they won't fit in the mag. I'm impressed with the velocity I'm seeing here but I do think my pressure is getting up there. If the accuracy is there at 117 to 118 grains it'll be a fairly warm load and my brass may not love it. Time will tell. I have some of the 285 grain ELD Match bullets loaded up at 3.800" that I'm going to test shortly. If I can find accuracy with these at ~3000 fps I'll be very pleased since it would be a little easier on my brass and my shoulder. 115+ grains of powder is a compressed load. With the length I'm loading to I think you'd max out around 120 grains. [/QUOTE]
