[QUOTE="Bowfishn, post: 1340039, member: 56875"] Even though my loads showed no sign of pressure according to QL my load that reached 3054 with the 143 ELD-X was over pressure. My loads that reached 3000 were well within SAAMI specs. and were the best for accuracy. I am using HBN now so I use around 48.5 gr of my Lot# of RL26 to achieve 3000 fps with the 143. I also have tested the 147 ELD-M and have a good accuracy node at 2930 fps, it is well within pressure , the 147 is flatter because of it's higher BC. Using the G7 BC at 2930 fps sighted in at 100 yards my ballistics calculator shows I can shoot a mile with a turret adjustment of 67.3" and it stays sonic till 1660 yards.

Remember start low work up slowly watch for any pressure signs, use a chronograph or something for checking velocity, this will tell you if you are getting close on pressure. [/QUOTE]
