[QUOTE="jraulsten, post: 1448988, member: 96652"] Thanks for the info, guys! I have a an 8 twist Brux on this one just like my last. My last gun got around 3050 with 59.5 grains H1000 once it sped up. In the first nearly 200 rounds with that barrel it took 61.5 to get the same velocity! I was also starting to get a faint ejector mark at the 59.5 once it sped. With my current barrel, I was starting to get faint ejector marks at 59 grains H1000 and around 2970 FPS. Now I'm getting around 3000 with 58.7 and still showing faint ejector marks. Both guns are one-holers and not picky at all about loads. Funny how every barrel is different. I don't like to take chances but kind of wonder if the ejection marks aren't just because of the Hornady brass. My previous action was Surgeon and this one is a Kelbly's Atlas. I don't have any other signs of pressure. No sticky bolt, no flattened primers, no case head expansion, and primer pockets are still tight even after two firings. [/QUOTE]
