[QUOTE="tdot, post: 1840906, member: 91330"] It'll be awhile. Rifle has been shipped back to the gunsmith for additional throating. I havent had my notes with me for awhile. But I did see some additional speed with decreasing the neck tension to .001". It was roughly an additional 100fps and I didnt hit pressure. Havent been back to try again. I also saw about a 100fps increase from changing the primer to a CCI BR2, from the Fed215M, but did hit pressure. I did not combine those two changes, so dont know if there was even more velocity available. Thanks again for that suggestion! I stopped playing with neck tension awhile ago, as I always seemed to settle on .002 and the extra testing wasnt worth it. But it sure is worth it with this cartridge. [/QUOTE]
