[QUOTE="7mmRHB, post: 766382, member: 3584"] Today I sat at the bench filling a fired but sized case with all the powders that might work in the BPX case. I built a wood dowel with a boat tail that pushed into the case to simulate a 140 Berger seated to the correct depth and then swirl charged with a long drop tube to get the max in the case. The results. VV 160-- 50 gr. IMR 4831-- 50.4 gr. RL 19 ----- 51.3gr. H 4831----- 51.2 gr. RL 22 ------ 50.1gr. RL 25 ------ 50 gr. H 1000 ---- 51.3gr. Retumbo -- 49.2 gr. Quick load says that IMR 4831 and RL 19 are the only viable choices to get into the 3000 plus fps range. I suspect RL 22 would be a candidate also but the others are probably way to slow. I guess It's time to hit the range with three more shot strings!! Thanks for the quick load info Steve.---- RHB [/QUOTE]
