[QUOTE="Killerbren, post: 800934, member: 67373"] Update: Ive continued my loads increasing in 0.5 grain increments and i'm quite high. Last load I shot was 78 grains of H4831SC. Published max in the barnes book for a 180g ttsx is 72, but if I remember correctly for a 168g ttsx the max is 74.5 grains. Since im shooting a 175 LRX I would say the published max for my bullet would be in the 73.5 grain mark. My primers are still round, no stiff bolt, no cratering. I shoot a sako 85 finlight, so a well made gun. Am I flirting with disaster with this? Im sure I would of seen pressure signs by now, but there are a few recipes on the web that are posting 80 grains. here are my speeds. 73.0g - 2923fps 73.5g - N/A 74.0g - 2917fps 74.5g - 2956fps 75.0g - 2976fps 75.5g - 2996fps 76.0g - 2956fps 76.5g - 3030fps 77.0g - 3044fps 77.5g - 3044fps 78.0g - 3058fps Im in a good range, I wanted 3100fps but realize that is probably not obtainable.
