[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1285120, member: 87243"] Yes, actually got over 3120 fps with the 162 eldx. Hornady brass only lasted 3 loads before the primer pocket was getting loose with that load though, so we backed it down to 3075. On the 4th load with that one now, no marks on case head and primer is still tight. If you can't get the performance you want with that powder, I would try H-4831 or Retumbo. If you can though, stick with what you got. I would just prefer lower e.s. speeds than that, personally. And you may be able to achieve that simply with a different primer. [/QUOTE]
