[QUOTE="highdrum, post: 2894925, member: 13732"] 54.2gr rl26 in my 65x284 runs 156s mid 2900s very accurately. That's where that cartridge is most forgiving speed wise with 140+ gr bullets. I'd say you have a pretty fast(possibly heavily fouled) barrel, or a fast lot of powder. I'd max your usable powder charge around 56gr. The 473 case head isn't as durable in high pressure as say a 65prc, which holds just slightly more powder, but can operate ar higher psi reliably due to the case head strength and extra chamber grip added by the larger case area.
