[QUOTE="ATH, post: 338989, member: 1656"] I'm working up a load for the 87gr V-Max in a standard 243Win (Savage Model 11) using H414 and CCI400 primers. While it was too dark for my chrono to work right I did run a series of loads to test for pressure, 43.5gr to 45.1gr in .2gr increments. While the chrono was throwing errors I did get a single reading of 3266 fps at 44.5gr, though I don't know if I trust it with all the errors. Pressure seemed fine on all loads, bolt was starting to turn a little harder toward the top but not yet sticky, absolutely no extractor mark and no signs on the primer either. As a guideline, what is the typical velocity range I can aim for with this bullet? I've seen posts of people shooting loads from 3000 fps all the way to 3300 fps. For now, I loaded up three shells each at 44.5, 44.7, 44.9, 45.1, and 45.3gr to shoot for groups but am waiting for a weekend so I can shoot when I have enough light to get reliable velocity readings.
