[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2737955, member: 75451"] I load them pretty warm, and use minimal shoulder set back…..toss the brass after 10 firings. This was with 1980’s Winchester brass, 270 TSX’s over 2900 fps. My rifle wears a 24” barrel…..I hate breaks and just deal with the recoil! 😉 I’m not burning through components as I once did, so I haven’t pushed any to the 10 shot mark in a while! There is some resistance to bolt closure, which you may not want in a stopping rifle…..which may shorten your case life a little. My present load is Barnes 250 TTSX’s @ 3130 (not quite max. loads). I don’t like light bullets but they were the heaviest high BC Barnes’ offering when I was buying. I have 4 boxes of 270 grain LRX’s that I will be developing a load for this summer…..only do load development in hot weather! I’m hoping for and think I can get them accurately above 3K fps. I love the extra fps that the AI gives…..adds a few more effective yards to my (only) hunting rifle! memtb [/QUOTE]
