[QUOTE="Longtine88, post: 2141326, member: 116240"] So switched out the primers to F215M's kept everything the same. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Reload Data-Ladder 6CM Highlander 123 F215M.jpg"]258380[/ATTACH] You can see that the magnum primer was increasing the velocity by 25 FPS basically for identical powder charge. What I love about these bullets is the velocity graph is pretty much a constant increase and doesn't deviate hardly any from a predictable path until pressure is hit. You can see pressure occurred pretty much at the same mark. So after this I loaded up three of these at 48.0 grains since I had two in the same hole. It was a group of about 1.5" ES of 21. So I was guessing if I lengthened the bullet that would decrease my compacted powder charge to 2.759". So I did and loaded 6 at 48.0 grains, fired a shot then adjusted scope to for that shot.
