[QUOTE="PapaSmurff, post: 2784142, member: 118512"] Yes I ran it myself too on Quickloads. I matched the speed with the bullet at that cartridge overall length to get my pressures and I think it said it came out to 69,000 PSI which I am very surprised because it doesn’t seem like it at all while shooting it; especially still getting that kind of accuracy. No pressure signs whatsoever. The primers are still slightly rounded on the sides, etc. This is one of the few instances where I don’t think quickloads is correct because when I chrony factory 225 grain SST ammo through it, the chrony says 2,750 FPS. So I’m only 40 fps faster than factory ammo with these handloads with a top choice powder and no pressure signs at all on primers or cases. I’m gonna run some other published loading data in Hornady’s book into quickloads for this caliber and I’ll update about the pressures this afternoon. [/QUOTE]
