[QUOTE="Bowfishn, post: 1310158, member: 56875"] I figured it was probably an input problem, I had to check and recheck mine to see if I was doing something wrong, but it kept coming up with the 66K+, then after raising to the 3000+fps the pressure is above 70K From "Berger Bullets Reloading Manual 1st Edition" 140 Berger Alliant RL-17 37.8 max load 2692 fps QL shows this load with the 24" Barrel as 2652 fps most likely due to powder lots tested. When adjusted for their 2692 fps pressure would be 51,514 psi which isn't max pressure for that cartridge, but a safe load that would account for other variables and the fact your published data could lead to law suits. I had 3 loadings on my Nosler cases with 49 gr RL26 behind 143 ELD-X bullets @ 3040+ in my Creed and the primers are still tight, but I do believe QL is correct in the pressures being high. Besides the load at 3000 fps is more accurate. [/QUOTE]
