[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1418713, member: 87243"] For reference, my .260 Ackley Improved maxed out at 51.5 grains going 3170 fps with a Berger 140 vld, and h20 capacity is 57.5 grains. My load I use is 49.1 grains going 3070 fps....in other words, I'm fairly certain something in your quick load is incorrect. If I'm maxed out at only 1.5 grains more than what quickload says for a creed in a cartridge that has 4.2 grains more h20 capacity, something is wonky. Did you chronograph your loads? How was bolt lift? Any other pressure signs? Something with your particular gun may just generate a little more pressure. Quickload is a great tool, but don't rely on it too much!! If I was seeing pressure at 45, I would load at 40 and work up in 1 grain incriments. Not sure what is working for others in their creeds, but yours may be different. [/QUOTE]
