[QUOTE="Longtine88, post: 2137952, member: 116240"] To save further load development, I would load up about 15 or so and go shoot it at 600 yards. Shoot 3 - 5 shot groups and see if they hold true. If they do then consider yourself lucky. I'm guessing this is a hunting rifle and your not going to be shooting much in above 80 degree temps. Unfortunately here in texas especially south it can be 30 degrees in December or 80 degrees. If you want to be certain about shooting it when the temps warm up then load up some singles from the point your at now and see what the velocity does with each and what the pressure does with each one. If you have a whole grain more of room to pressure then you are lucky. Just be careful in the summer and try it when the temps gets up if you decided not to explore any more. [/QUOTE]
