[QUOTE="Shortmagman, post: 691254, member: 10723"] If you can detect no signs of excessive pressure and you can get 4-5 reloads without stressing the brass,I think that this is a safe load for your gun. The Alliant web site gives 66 grains as the Max load with a 180 grain bullet, as Winmag just stated. They used Fed cases, Fed 215 primers for a velocity of 3082 ft/sec., so you results comes close to matching their data. I have loaded 68 grains of RL-17, WW cases, Fed 215 primers, and 168 grain Berger in my Model 70 Winchester. This load produced 3132 ft/sec velocity and I not feel that this was too hot for my gun. I have also fired Federal factory ammo loaded with 180 grains Nosler solid base bullets in my gun. This load was not very accurate in but it did produce 3055 ft/sec velocity. So it is very possible to get over 3000 ft/sec with a 180 grain bullet without exceeding pressure limits. [/QUOTE]
