Ok paired comparison, same shooter, better stat design.
Didn’t pick this up on your earlier post.
Thanks for the clarity.

Funny same charge and powder my 24 is doing 2930

My load is 72gn of 2217 out of a 21” tikka.

Matches the Hornady ELD-X factory load of 2930 which is helpful.

ill trade 100fps for 4'' of barrel any day of the week
100fps is nothing 24'' is a pain in the ass to lug around

what's your coal

mine is pretty heavily compressed at 73.5 (Winchester brass)
and I'm seeing mild pressure signs not enough to bother me for a low-volume hunting rifle
don't ask me what that is off the top of my head

I was wondering because I'm pretty sure another 0.7gn would be very warm in my rifle

3.425 coal. Is getting up there in pressure. I might dial it back once I've used a few loadings. However it doesn't get alot of use as is a hunting rifle
