Let me be clear here. I'm not trying to push this load further, just duplicate velocities I know are attainable by factory ammunition, by using a slow powder and new components.

When inspecting the brass, none of these loads had abnormal bugles. Yes, the thin wall of the case expands to fit the chamber- just like it does with factory ammo.

WESHOOT2, besides the levelling-off, what other features of the "charge/velocity" map should one look at?

thanks
Zak
