[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 1148545, member: 10429"] So I just measured to my lands and will be doing a load test. I have 20 rounds 4 of each starting at .005 off the lands and moving .020 with each goup of 4. Powder is retumbo at 57 grains. I have already tested for some pressures and really did't see anything until above 57.5 and 57 put me right at 2950 fps. So hopefully I can dial in a load with what is left for barrel life on this gun. I'm right at 1000 plus rounds probably closer to 1100. When this gun gets rebarreled I may go with a 26 to 27 inch barrel. Currently 24 inch. Bullets are Berger 140 VLD. I also will do this test with some 142 ABLR maybe. But with probably a different powder so I don't burn up all my retumbo. [/QUOTE]
