accuracy was excellent at .5 -.65 for all loads

QL shows almost 67K pressure.
I'm a fairly new QL user and when I ran QL on his load, I don't get that he is over pressure.
Here are the results I came up with in QL:
Cartridge : .300 Win. Mag.(SAAMI)
Bullet : .308, 200, Hornady ELD-X 3076
Useable Case Capaci: 81.289 grain H2O = 5.278 cm³
Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 3.510 inch = 89.15 mm
Barrel Length : 27.5 inch = 698.5 mm
Powder : Hodgdon H1000
78.50 gr 2969 fps 57404 psi ! Near Maximum !
Now, this is based on my assumption that Nosler brass has H20 capcity of 92.4 gr.
Now, seeing how I'm new to using QL, please tell me where I am wrong and need to adjust things. Of course, my QL calc is a little low on the velocity calc too, so it is likely to be higher pressure than my QL prediction.
Thanks. If you don't mind I might send you a PM. I figured my numbers were wrong since he was getting more velocity than I showed.
guys, I am trying to work up a load for the 178 grain eld-x for my 300 win mag. I have some h1000 and h4350. I have read threads and feel more confused than when I started. any help on a good powder and where to start?
