[QUOTE="Idaho Trecker, post: 1514250, member: 67706"] I've just done some initial pressure tests with this over the last few months and have not had time to return to do any more testing. I have tried it in my 338 Edge, 300 Dakota, and 270 Sherman. *as usual these are my tests/loads and not to try without starting much lower (10%) and working up. In the Edge I ran up to 98 grains of 8133 with a 285 ELD-M which was absolute max and no where near usable. The magneto showed 3051fps for the one shot. I started at 93 grains with 2859 fps. I am running N570 for my go to load in this around 2950 fps with no pressure so 8133 appears to be a slightly faster burn than N570. With the 270 Sherman and the 170 Berger I maxed out at 3049 fps at 71 grains. 69 grains gave me 2955 fps. Finally the Dakota I used the 225 Eld-M and for fun I fired 1 round each of a mild load (82 grains) to see the difference between Retumbo, 8133 and N 570. Retumbo gave me 2893 (most pressure sign), 8133 showed 2864 with no pressure signs, and N 570 was clear down at 2792 fps. For my pressure test with the 225 ELD-M and 8133 ran up to 2999 fps with 87 grains. I have also done a little work with LRT and have found it to be as slow if not slower than RL33. [/QUOTE]
