[QUOTE="Veteran, post: 2268615, member: 118038"] Here's what Western Powder says in their handloads for Accurate LRT and 28 Nosler for 168 gr. Matchkings. 168 SIERRA HPBT MK Min load 80.7 gr. 2,780 fps Max load 89.7 gr. 3,119 fps 64,178 pressure 3.340 COAL This isn't your barnes 168 gr. bullet, but its in the ballpark. This was for a 24 inch barrel. So at 90.6 grains shooting 3255 fps you are pretty much at MAX LOAD already and your pressure has to already be up around 64-65,000 psig. So, yes, really the only factor we don't know is the volume of the specific brass you are using, and it may or maynot give you any little leeway. My advice is be careful. You are pretty close to Max. already. [/QUOTE]
