[QUOTE="TRexF16, post: 2562515, member: 108912"] Very Nice! What length is your barrel? Mind sharing your 3000 FPS load with the 165 ABLR? I am working with a 24" barreled, 8 twist 270 WSM and using 6.8 Western data for starting loads, since there are so few published loads for the 270 WSM with the long-heavy bullets. Hodgdon has a lot of pressure-tested data posted online for the 6.8W. With the 165 ABLR, they only exceeded 2900 FPS with two powders, MagPro and Magnum in a 24" barrel with a 63K PSI pressure limit. My lot of Magnum is faster-burning than theirs, as I can hit 3000 FPS in the larger 270 WSM case with a couple grains less Magnum than Hodgdon's 68.5 grain charge in the 6.8W.
