[QUOTE="trailrider121, post: 511046, member: 24966"] Update: Well I finally got to test some loads, however did get any chrony speeds. It was a little windy 15mph test was shot at 100 meters. Savage 7mm-08 22" barrel. 1st load: 168 gr VLD,RL-17,cci BR2, .010" off the lands. 43.5, 44, 44.5, 45 grs. [IMG]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y212/trailrider121/DSCF4030.jpg[/IMG] 2nd load: H4350 same as above. 46, and 46.5grs. [IMG]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y212/trailrider121/DSCF4031.jpg[/IMG] Not very good groups, but looks be a node in RL-17 around 43.5-44grs. the h4350 load 46gr looks good. I could pick a charge and mess with seating depth and then go back and rest some loads. So i went back and did some more testing with both powders. I loaded up some H4350 seated .010" off the lands,and tested them,found a good node between 45.6,45.8,and 46grs. All three rounds went .716" and chrony them at 2620 fps avg. @ 12' from muzzle. I tested out to 46.5grs but hit a scatter node at 46.6grs. I might see another node at 46.9- 47.1grs. I might test higher but might see pressure signs, I would work very carefully.Hodgdon shows 47.2C max at 2637fps. I also tried RL-17 out but really didn't see any good nodes, plus the speed wasn't there. The highest was 44grs @ 2570 fps with no signs of pressure at all, so I'm going to push it higher. I shot 45grs in previous target and looks to be a scatter node as well,I did it see pressure signs at 45 grs so I'm going to push it high to 46grs,slowly..Stay tune... [/QUOTE]
