[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 2413996, member: 7999"] Sounds to me like you are just tickling on pressure. I would say you at a top end load. I am not sure it is worth tinkering with a diff or faster powder. Generally the only reason I would try a faster powder is if I run out of case space before being able to get pressure. My guess is another powder will likely reach pressure about the same velocity. A quicker powder will likely burn more in the chamber and less in the barrel and likely show pressure sooner with less velocity. I will add that we have seen much higher velocity in the prc with large rifle primers vs magnum primers when loading Hammer Hunters. If you are using a magnum primer it would be worth trying a standard lr primer. [/QUOTE]
