[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 2039185, member: 33159"] The Absolutes need a faster powder than what you normally run. You’ll end up with about the same velocity with the Absolute as you do with the Hunter if you use the same powder. So, you need to look in the burn rate charge for a faster powder than you normally use. You’ll see my data in the spreadsheet with the 162 Absolute in my 30-06. My normal powder is IMR4350. It worked great l, but I ran out of case capacity before I found pressure. This means you need to use a faster powder. My final load was accurate and hit 2968 fps. So, I decided to try a much faster powder. I used Benchmark, which is what I use in my 6.5 Grendel. I was looking for 3100 fps. I got there, but also hit pressure at that velocity. I’ dropped down to a safe load that is 3025 fps. Not exactly where I wanted to be, but still very fast for a 30-06. So, look at something in the Varget burn rate. If you have 8208XBR or BL-C(2), you can try those instead of Varget. [/QUOTE]
