[QUOTE="J300UM, post: 1332646, member: 9866"] I didn't know hogdon listed data for the 150s. I've been running the 140 gr accubond over 69gr retumbo (same keg I'm using right now) for the last few years in this rifle. That was giving me right at 3200 fps which is pretty common for that bullet weight. That bullet actually has a longer bearing surface than the matrix I'm running now. The brass I'm using for that load has 4 firings and the pockets are still good. I always figured a long throated chamber and slow lot of powder were the culprits behind the higher charge for pretty much average velocities. Just don't want you to think I'm running this thing at .1 gr shy of full ******. As of now I'm not over pressure to the point of sticky bolt lift but I know the load I'm at now is gonna be hard on brass. My op was more of a "what would you do" sacrifice brass life for accuracy or seek out a lower node and save the brass. [/QUOTE]
