[QUOTE="SouthTXBowhunter, post: 1293474, member: 13266"] I'm finding that I'm getting velocities with about 1.5gr less powder than my large primer loads and book velocities are achieved with less powder than the recipe calls for. So, you'll want to start lower than usual. I haven't had much time to load lately but the last load I shot was 42gr of H4350 behind a 140gr Nosler Ballistic Tip and I was getting 2809fps out of my 24" barrel - Savage 10/110 Predator Hunter. I got my very first SLIGHTEST pressure sign but it looked like I was hitting a node and I think I can get in there before I get a really "hot" load. I'm about 105fps faster than I was with 42gr in my Nosler brass. FWIW- I shot my best 3-shot group ever with this rifle during this initial round of charge weight development - .18" at around 2650fps. I knew this rifle was a shooter but it's turning out to be much better than I suspected. Pretty pleased for a sub $1k factory rifle with ZERO modifications! I'm really hoping I can get into a similar node in the 2800's. [/QUOTE]
