I finally got around to shooting my ladder test. 49.5-54gr. I started around 2740fps for 49.5gr and reached pressure at 53.0gr & 53.2gr (didn't shoot the higher loads) with 2962fps. I am shooting a 22" Howa and even with factory Federal only ever shot around 2850fps (never reached the 3000's in my .270 ).
I have chosen 51.5gr which was a very wide and flat node at 2820fps. Quite low on the velocity but should be well clear of pressure even in higher temp. and enough for me to be happy with out to a reasonable range. I'll be loading and shooting a seating depth test in the next week or so to see how she groups with that charge weight... My whole ladder test was within 2.5" at appox. 150m so I have high hopes that it will group well. @chubby how did yours go?
