[QUOTE="CMP70306, post: 1707423, member: 36999"] Same here, 3200+ fps is my goal but I’m working my way up to it since there isn’t much load data. Per QuickLoad my 57.5gr H4831SC load should be going 3200 fps and over pressure but I’m only getting 3070fps while not seeing any pressure signs yet with no heavy bolt lift and still rounded primers. The 58gr H1000 tracks much closer to the QuickLoad numbers at 3024 fps vs the 3000 fps actual but based on the numbers I run out of powder space before I hit velocity. I will admit with all the people claiming 3000+ with the 140+gr bullets I was really expecting the 124gr to easily hit 3200+ but if I can’t get the velocity it might be better to switch to the 131gr and see how fast I can push that. With the Proof Barrel on my new build being 7.5 twist I can’t go any heavier if I’m going to find a common load between the two rifles. [/QUOTE]
