[QUOTE="bassassassin104, post: 2586850, member: 28244"] Not sure who you are addressing, but I personally read every single post. I have also had the opportunity to help with load development on two 28 noslers. One shooting 195 EOL Berger’s and the other a 175 eldx. Both guns ended up with H1000 and both were over 79 grains. One was over 80 grains. In my limited experience, Nosler brass show marks easily and may not be a good indicator of pressure. Also, generally speaking, that load is well below the 84 grain max charge and even below the 80 grain starting load listed by Nosler for 150 class bullets with H1000. (Yes, I know he is shooting a 155) Every gun is different, but probably not by 5 grains. The only thing I am not sure of is the solid projectile. I have very little experience with them and am not sure if they create pressure at a lower charge than a cup and core. I do agree with you, that ladder tests can be effective. It is a little difficult to get great information at 100 yards, but since he has chronograph data to go with it, he has strong potential starting point. [/QUOTE]
