[QUOTE="ajkellerusmc, post: 2133037, member: 108702"] Berger recommended 59.6 to 63.0 of H1000 for my PRC with the 140 VLD Target. The Hodgdon annual states 47.9 to 57.7 with a Nosler BT. I ladder tested and found 2 nodes at 61.4 and 62.3. Shooting a 26" barrel I am getting 3207fps with a few pressure signs so I plan to reduce to 61.4 and try again. Its kinda weird I will get a heavy bolt lift on only about half the rounds I tested with the brass getting shaved by the slot in the bolt for the fixed ejector. ( Mauser type action). Am I driving these too fast or is my longer 26" barrel producing a much higher velocity? Rifle is a Ruger Hawkeye Long Range Target. [/QUOTE]
