[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 267627, member: 10"] Was that 3300 fps reading from the barrel when it was new or was it just before you pulled it off the short action? If it was from when it was new, likely, you have a decent amount of throat erosion and that will also add to the drop in velocity compared to when the barrel was new. Seating the bullets out will certainly drop velocity for a given load. There is no way for us to tell you exactly how many grains of powder will need to be added to get your load back to 3300fps or if that is even practical. Should be, 3300 fps with a 95 gr bullet is not overly impressive out of a 6-284 but every barrel is different. Start with your 53 gr load and add 1/2 grain at a time until you reach your 3300 fps level or stop if you start to see pressure signs before that. [/QUOTE]
