[QUOTE="Cruizin, post: 872961, member: 7095"] Thanks! You know I was shooting 75 grains but every two firings I had to use the body die to bump the shoulder. I backed off to 74.5 and I bet I'll still have to bump the shoulder after two or maybe 3 more firings but we will see. This lot of brass is on its 8th reload, the necks have been annealed once, and shoulders have been bumped twice. I feel that if you reduce pressure and don't let the barrel get too hot with H1000 being a slow burning powder you can get more life out of your barrel. I will probably drop down to 74 grains if I have to work the brass too much. Even 3100 fps with the 180 grain Berger is plenty fast. At 1K it gets there fast and is pretty flat. [/QUOTE]
