[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 2290560, member: 66917"] I worked a powder ladder up to 58.8gr of H1000 where I hit pressure. I had a great flat spot with 58.2gr in the middle so my load became 58.2gr at 15/1000 off. That's running 3040fps in a 26 in Proof 1:8. This load is consistently sub 0.5 MOA. Its accounted for 22 head of game from about 80 yards to 743 yards. I'd work up in small increments to find your rifle's powder nodes and not try to jump to some random book max. The book max data for this cartridge, and most, are all over the map and do not necessarily match your rifle. For example, 58.2gr H1000 might be way over pressure in your rifle. You need to test.
