[QUOTE="dok7mm, post: 1200277, member: 90080"] Go to Hodgdon's load center and check out the loads for Retumbo and IMR 7977. I'm running the 175 eld-x @ max +.2 gr. of 7977 and getting a 5-shot average of 2829 fps and SD of 3.9 and ED of 8.0 w/fed 215m primers. I don't believe you're gonna see 3000 fps safely, as I'm also running a 26" barrel, and I ran into pressure @ 2905 fps. If you don't have a chrono, work up slowly, keeping a sharp eye out for pressure signs as this data is for bullets w/ shorter bearing surface than the eld-x. I am using a .010 jump at CBTO of 2.775 and OAL of 3.484" FYI [/QUOTE]
