[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 1702647, member: 108965"] A few years ago I developed a load for the 139gr SST on my 7mm-08 that groups sub half MOA, its with 41.0 gr of IMR-4064 that does not show any pressure signs on normal brass A year later and before I read somewhere that nickel plated brass would show pressure signs with less powder, I did this same load on some once fired Winchester nickel placed brass and has not showed signs of pressure either. I was more concerned when trying out on my 7 Rem Mag, trying to avoid starting the load development all over again and just trying the loads I currently have, do you guys think stating at a grain and a half below my current load would be safe enough? Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
