[QUOTE="Unofficial Gun Addict (UGA), post: 1002345, member: 81139"] Bigngreen... What do you consider to be a mild load? I'm showing 103% compressed load at 40.22 grains of varget to get a velocity of 2441... And pressure sitting at 62516. This is for a bullet with a coal of 2.885. If I lengthen the coal to 2.925... 40.22 grains of varget and 101% fill to get it out at 2430 fps... With a pressure of 60347. To get to 2600... You have to bump it up to 43.63 grains of varget... Which is way up there at 78,126 psi. Both loads at 40.22 grains are listed as dangerous in quikload... Albeit... It's the first dangerous warning. I think your load is right there on the edge pressure wise... I definitely wouldn't consider your load to be mild. [/QUOTE]
