[QUOTE="Eric Musgrove, post: 2239437, member: 102783"] Good Morning, Last year I called Berger and they told me the same info, we discussed seating depths as well. I don't have my notes in front of me at the moment. I loaded up the same loads with Hornady brass and had heavy bolt lift at 60 grs of H1000, I believe it was around 80-85F so I stopped and later pulled the rest. I assumed this was because my X-bolt pro has a mag and I was at max length for the mag and couldn't seat them longer. I settled on a load of 59.5 grs I will get my notes later and check but I believe it was 2990 fps(24in barrel) and accuracy was 1/2 moa at 200 yards. I was able to get some 143 ELDX bullets and I am currently prepping the brass for that load. As a side note the factory Hornady 143 ELDX didn't shoot that well, but barrel was new and speeds were was less than advertised. I believe I can push them passed 3000 fps with no problem. [/QUOTE]
