[QUOTE="jmden, post: 420922, member: 1742"] Under 3K? Well, he should know. I thought guys had been having issues at much lower than that. Maybe with faster twists...? On the H50BMG I doubt you'll be able to pack enough in there to get anywhere near the velocities you may want--maybe 2800. I messed around with up to 107.5g H50BMG not too long ago in my 338 AX (Lap Imp--'bout 123g water capacity) and I wasn't even hitting 2800 with that and crunching pretty bad when seating. Every gun is different. Let us know what happens. I'd guess you'd have much better success with US869 as you can pack alot of that stuff in a case, but in my 300RUM with 240's, I found it too temp sensitive for my taste. However, in the EDGE it may be a different story. Hodgdon still ads it as pretty temp insensitive, but that may be only for the 50BMG case...I don't know. [/QUOTE]
