[QUOTE="Trnelson, post: 1709530, member: 42308"] I’d say you are topped out and then a bit more. Depending on your barrel length you are either just above 3,000 with a 24” barrel and a 140g or approaching 3,100 with a 26”. 53.6g H4831sc is pretty darn stout, I’ve only had one barrel that could safely shoot that much and it didn’t last 1,200 rounds. You’ll probably see loosening of the primer pockets within one or two more firings. Maybe seat the bullet 0.005” deeper and re-test or back off to the next node down. Your primer pockets will last significantly better. Nothing worse than trying to beat a gun open to get ready to take a follow-up shot. If you have all your data already and don’t see something promising lower you can always come back to this load in a pinch. [/QUOTE]
