[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1792332, member: 30902"] I'm loading I think 88. and 87.3gr . Unfortunately it really likes to run them very hot. I was printing .2's at 3412 running 140's putting them literally all into one hole. I can double check my loads if you like. It will run the 123gr Peregrine VLR5 prototypes I've got at speeds I won't even mention here because nobody would believe it. I think I was running 91.5gr behind them. Recently I started having some pressure issues so I cleaned the snot out of it removing all the carbon and it seems to no longer be an issue. In my experience anytime you exceed 3250 you're in territory where carbon buildup causing dangerous pressures can happen very quickly. I'm terrible about keeping them clean, usually only cleaning once a year but I think in the future with my high velocity monsters I'll try to keep a round count and never again exceed fifty rounds between complete cleanings.
