[QUOTE="Deleted member 71114, post: 1422891"] THEIS Between my busy work schedules we will be load testing the rifle with the 361 and 400 gr. Flat Lines. Our intentions are to end up with a load to be used in 90 degree +/- environments without stressing out the brass. I know we could ramp it up and have speeds for bragging rights but you end up with sticky bolt lift and stressed primer pockets to boot. From what we seen fired out of my rifle so far and estimating a zone I would say 3475 to 3500 fps on the 361s and 3350 to 3400 fps on the 400s with ammo heated up in the 90 degree area - but only time will tell. I just wanted to let you know where we are and without just throwing guesses and inflated numbers. I will post in time where we settled at for speeds on our accuracy load in those environments. UPDATED INFO With the the ammo based in a 90 degree environment and not stressing the brass/ primer pockets we have settled on the following loads for now and as the barrel burnishes in some yet the speeds will increase some and we may adjust the load. But after a few days of testing here is where we will be running as we speak Flat Line 361 grain at 3491 fps and low single digit ES Flat Line 400 grain at 3358 fps and again running a low single digit ES End Of Update - Cheers Powders H50BMG and RL50. The rifle system complete ready to fire less ammo 38.1 Lbs Cheers Osoh [/QUOTE]
