What kind of pressure do you think that load is getting up to?

147 @ 2930 from my 26" PRC is only around 52,000 PSI.

A lot of folks are nipping at the heels of the larger cases with 260's and Creedmoors but they've got to be redlining them to do so.

Yes for sure! With most my rifles i run them them at about 1gr under the point where i see excess pressure signs, assuming they produce good precision there.

I dont see the point of having a 6 cyl car and taking one or two plug leads off.

Not sure, but its a warm load of RL25 - probably 0.5gn below hitting pressure (bolt lift and head stamp marks) Pretty sure i could push it harder, especially if I changed over to RL26.
