[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2061162, member: 68875"] Just brass visual, velocity, and bolt lift tests. Talk to Steve. I was planning on RL23 or N565 too, but we talked, and he suggested a much faster burn rate powder like H4350 to build pressure faster. He thinks RL23, N565, etc. won't pressure up enough before case fill is 100%+. In the rifle I am testing, I can push the 150 SMK @ 3095, and the 156 @ 3080 before I get sticky bolt amd/or shiny ejector marks. My main hunting loads are the 150 @ 3045 or 156 @ 3024 however. Best accuracy there. And I mean sub .2MOA 5 shot groups out to 1151. I shoot the 131 Hammer, but nothing else lighter than a 144 LR Hyb in this rifle in a cup and core style bullet. [/QUOTE]
