[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2252609, member: 115658"] Am I reading this right? Sounds OK to me. [ATTACH alt="Screenshot (206).png"]288610[/ATTACH] 58.6 K psi is probably in line with SAAMI specs. I would guess that about 95% of the case is filled with IMR4451. A slower double base ball powder being denser and allowing a bigger charge might give another 75-100 fps. I used RamShot Hunter with 150's in my 26" 9 twist 7mm-08 for 1,000 yard silhouette chickens at just under 2850 and some thought I was shooting a 7mm RM. Possibly Lapua 7mm-08 brass would handle higher pressures for another 75-100 fps but would that be needed in a 20" barrel hunting rifle? The big question is - how good does it shoot? [/QUOTE]
