[QUOTE="Hondo64d, post: 2274074, member: 1390"] IMR4831 is a slower BURNING powder but that doesn’t necessarily mean slower shooting, ie slower velocities. Because of its burn rate, I would expect 41gr IMR4831 to be a fairly low pressure load, and that is what your velocities reflect. I would keep increasing charge weight by .3-.4gr at a time, watching for excess pressure signs and accuracy along the way. With a 22 inch barrel, I would think you should be able to reach 2725 without too much problem. Hodgon’s data shows a max of 45gr IMR4831 behind the 143gr ELDX for a MV of 2760, so you should have a bit of performance still available. John [/QUOTE]
