[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1783565, member: 8873"] Did you try 87 grains H1000 and get slow speeds or are you just assuming they will be slow due to the seemingly low’ish powder charge? If you are assuming then I would tell you not to. Just because it seems low compared to others doesn’t mean it is in your rifle. Pressure is what pushes the bullet and builds the velocity, if 87 is the max working load in your rifle (hypothetically) then it is gonna be at max working (acceptable) pressures producing max velocity. If you did try 87 grains and it was max but didn’t give you the velocity you want then so be it. You do what you want, I just think your load development technique is at fault (again...not flaming you), and you didn’t start low and work your way up. Like I stated earlier, if you’re happy with 8133 then go have fun. [/QUOTE]
