[QUOTE="dragon798, post: 2866499, member: 51909"] That table is the only load info I could find last year. I had a buddy run it through QL and it wanted me to start at 136gr. I landed at 132.2gr of 24N41, .012" off the lands. My 5 shot SDs were around 5 fps at 3035. The problem I and many others have encountered is in the resizing process. Conventional wisdom is bump the shoulder .002". Well, that is not enough, and creates extraction issues. You must bump the shoulder .004 - .005. I actually take mine back to the same point as the stock Peterson brass, which is .004". It required an email to AB, and advice from Francis Colon to figure this out. Also, it turns out I had a Whiddon die that was out of spec. Whiddon promptly replaced the die after inspecting it. Make sure you anneal that brass too, it's a lot of metal to move when sizing. Lastly, AB recommends .003" of neck tension. I also found this to work well. There's a lot going on with reloading this round that was different from what I was accustomed to. Just FYI, hope it helps. Good luck with your build, this is a great cartridge! [/QUOTE]
