[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1289698, member: 48043"] Yup, my current 7stw (27") is running 3340 fps with a 140 ab using rl25 for the fuel. The load was doing about 3250 fps is my last rifle- a 24" bbl... the same ammo would do 3400 fps in my Sendero (26")... It kills the same no matter what and my longest kill with that load was actually with the slowest barrel at 480 yards or so. Save the money for the pressure testing equipment and use the shoe test. If the bolt takes any more effort to open that a tap with your shoe would produce, you are over pressure. I got lucky and was using my brother in law's pressure trace; I only had to buy a transducer and put it on my rifle. [/QUOTE]
