[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 2453766, member: 10429"] I checked for pressure on all the cases after firing them. Primer pockets are still holding primers fine, not too loose. No ejector swipes either. But to produce the extra 100fps (calculated) then they had to almost be a 1/2 grain over my recipe charge which would of put them to the max Hodgins suggested max load for a 168gr bullet. I'll never know i guess but what I went out to check was the stabilization of the 168ABLR in the 9.5 twist 22 inch barrel. At 400 to 450 yrds they are still flying straight and not keyholing. So the bullet is flying stable but with a reduced BC. In my reloading I had thought there was an upper node from where I was originally at but the power was getting compressed so I was trying to stay away from the compressed powder. Even though my groups were all above my point of aim it showed some interesting grouping that now gets me to thinking about a higher velocity node. But I'm almost out of staball and will be using H4350, H4895 and or IMR, or RL17. I know my old 308 loved the IMR4895 with a 168 and a 175. Also it cost to much to chase speed. I few more clicks on the scope is free. [/QUOTE]
