[QUOTE="adam32, post: 1540486, member: 9467"] So to obey our new lead free law I'm starting to load up ammo for my hunting rifles. First up is my .243 Ack, my go to rifle that has always shot 105gr Berger's I cleaned it real good with Shooters Choice like I always do. It's a Broughton 5c so it cleans up extremely easy. I loaded 5 of the 95gr Barnes LRX with H4831SC. I started at 46 then 47, 48, 49, 50 based on loads I found online and QL calcs. First shot at 46gr the bolt barely opened and the primer was in the mag box!!!! Plugging the 46gr load into QL comes up with 45,248 psi...I know there's lots of variables with QL and I accounted for the ones I know. Even still, this load is low compared to everything I've found. I went back and pulled the remaining bullets and weighed the powder charge, all were correct. It was also a new unopened jug of powder. Any ideas???? [/QUOTE]
