[QUOTE="cb4128, post: 2662563, member: 80069"] ok finally got around to another pressure test, this time with RL26. New Peterson Brass 215m primer 143 hammer hunters RL26 powder .020 off the lands Below are the results, reminder that I have a 22" barrel... 67.0gr - 3,102 fps 67.5gr - 3,080 fps 68.0gr - 3,075 fps 68.5gr - 3,105 fps 69.0gr - 3,179 fps 69.5gr - 3,164 fps 70.0gr - 3,198 fps 70.5gr - 3,231 fps ***Didn't have any signs of pressure, sticky bolt, plunger mark or primer issues For now I'm looking at that 69.0-69.5gr window to revisit for group testing. I always start at .020 off the lands, but does anyone else have suggestions for this bullet specifically? They did shoot very well with the magneto speed attached, so if that's any indication - they should shoot very well. Thanks for any input! [/QUOTE]
