[QUOTE="5.56×250, post: 1672378, member: 110162"] I found the 41.8gn of RL16 by loading up 6 rds each of several powder weights. I didnt have a chrono at that time and watched for pressure signs closely. I noticed VERY SLIGHT cratering on my primers at 42.1gns and although all but the lowest charge shot really well, the 41.8 shot best. I didnt even shoot the loads that were above 42.4 ( I loaded in .3gn steps ) . I had loaded up to 43.0. Load data showed 44gn as max load. My chamber is pretty tight, so I didnt want to get near max without a chrono to verify velocity. It was really just a safe, accurate load to shoot while I played with seating depths and fire formed brass. Now that I can run velocities, I'm going to do the quickly powder ladder to see where the node is. [/QUOTE]
