[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 2746275, member: 95344"] I'm not a Savage owner but as far as I know you can seat bullets quite long with your LRP (detach mag). That can reduce pressures and increase capacity. You could just have a slow barrel. I'd check to see where contact to the lands is and then seat out with a .020" jump, or more depending on the mag's allowable COAL. Then adjust your charges and check again for pressure. As far as you being happy with the velocity that's entirely up to you and the job you set for the rig. My 260 AI fire form load out of a 26" barrel is a 145 Match Burner going 2750 fps. My target for velocities with that bullet or a 147 gr ELDM is around 2900 fps. But to be honest I'm having a blast with this fire forming load out to 800 yards so far. When I get a chance I'll push it to 1100 yards and then 1650 yards out on blm land. [/QUOTE]
