[QUOTE="Bowfishn, post: 1445849, member: 56875"] It appears that your barrel is slower than most 28" barrels, as Hornady shows their factory 147 ELD-M @ 2695 with a 24" barrel, you only got 2707 average with a 28" barrel. should have seen 50 to 100 fps faster with your barrel. Slow barrel for what ever reason is most likely seeing lower pressures. If it was me I would continue to increase at .2 gr jumps 5 at a time up to the 2750 fps checking for pressure indicators. 2750 fps should still be less than 60K pressure. Remember if you change lot # on powder start down low and compare it with previous recorded velocities. Your Magneto speed could be reading wrong but I doubt it, according to your drop indications.
