[QUOTE="mferrell, post: 1994383, member: 115682"] I would agree, the velocity isn't where I would like to to be (I'm shooting for around 3000 fps). It's a new gun though and a starting point so now I plan to keep working the powder charge up and see where I can get safely. I've loaded up another round, stepping up to 57grs, so we will see how that goes. Hopefully I will be able to get out this week sometime to do the testing. As far as load development with new brass I have thought about this and it will be interesting to see how it actually changes when I go to load them after the first firing. Can you share you thoughts or experiences that you've had with new versus fired? I would expect to see a little variation but not much. I'm full length resizing so I feel like the only difference in cases, between fired and unfired, would be the shoulder being longer by 8 thou on the fired one. [/QUOTE]
