[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 938333, member: 48043"] I suppose I should run my rifle up to absolute max. also to see where she actually peaks, but my 225 hornady pills broke 3000 fps at 95 grains and the pressures are normal so I see no reason to go for broke. If you keep having luck at higher charges though I may just get goaded into working the load higher, though I doubt it really matters with the bc the 225-230 grain 30 cal. pills have. I had a similar situation with 180's and I5010 with this rifle (300RUM) where I landed at a good load (right at 3320 fps with a 180) that was actually 6 or 7 grains below the real max. load for the combo; I never did chrono the absolute max. load... wish I had. Keep in mind you will likely see a bit more pressure in hot weather even with the newer rl powders. I load to mag length so I'm at 3.650" or so and that'll change top load a bit; I don't think my throat would tolerate a 4" cartridge, even with that pointy pill. [/QUOTE]
