[QUOTE="jda2631, post: 2047476, member: 23675"] Finally got my SS up and running in October, didn't have time to do much load development. But I'm running a 20" barrel, shooting 175 Berger EH's. I did one ladder test to find pressure, I stopped at 62.0gr of RL26, I didn't have any pressure there so could probably increase a little but likely wont as it was the last charge in my ladder and shot 2846 fps avg with a 3.5 sd. And we'll under 1/2" so I just loaded up some to hunt with. So far I've taken a cull buck (white tail), a doe, and 2 hogs (one was massive 140+lbs). All have been bang flops except the doe, she ran about 20 yards. The exits are massive, except one hog that I drilled in both shoulders and bullet didn't exit. 7ss is a **** hammer and the 175 EH's have been fantastic. Highly recommend giving them a try. Edit: Rich thank you for all your help over the phone and email. This cartridge you've created is incredible. I will definitely be trying more of yours over the years. A 30 sherman mag sounds like a nice project for 2021! [/QUOTE]
