[QUOTE="MASH, post: 2530503, member: 91249"] Ok so here it is, powder charge test from today. Rem 700 / 1:7 18" Carbon Six barrel / nomad Ti Suppressor / measured with a Magneto Speed 109 AH @ 2.771 OAL / Varget / 41.0 - 44.5 / Lapua SRP / annealed 3rd firing / CCI450 primer Weather= 102* / 5% hum / 29.70 ***These are results for this rifle and should not be duplicated as being safe in any other firearm without working up and finding what is a safe load in your rifle.**** 41.0 = 2976 fps 41.5 = 3010 fps 42.0 = 3064 fps 42.5 = 3108 fps 43.0 = 3140 fps 43.5 = 3161 fps 44.0 = 3200 fps 44.5 = 3220 fps Really thought I would pressure out by 44 Grns as most people have, but even at 44.5, no heavy bolt lift, primers look good but it's reaching case capacity at that point and I think pressure would build quickly from here. It's just over the edge of the shoulder. From 42.5 to 44.5 we're all touching with some horizontal stringing but I had some gusting winds to left to right about 5-8 mph. Just might stick with 44.5 and shoot a group with it, while I order some more! [/QUOTE]
