[QUOTE="joepa2k3, post: 951631, member: 75150"] Ok, so I finally had a chance to chrono my handloads. Here are the specs. Rem 9.5 primer Nosler Brass Hornady SST 154 46.5 gr RL 17 2.815 COAL 26" 1:9 barrel No pressure signs shooting this load. I chrono'd 3 shots today - cloudy day, no direct sunlight. 3020 FPS 3059 FPS 3080 FPS IMO, these look alot higher than they should be. I have heard of guys squeezing 2850-2900 out of 162 AMAXs, but again that seems like a reach. The chrono is brand new, so I don't think that is the issue. Does anyone else think these are extreme velocity? Everyone says RL 17 is the magic powder for the 7-08, but this just seems wayyy to good to be true. [/QUOTE]
