Which one ?

I'll keep it if I can get it to shoot like the rl26 load. I would like the ql the feller was talking about earlier. Just want to make sure it's safe.

I made an error. I had a longer barrel but that only affects velocity not pressure.

Give me your COAL and I'll fix the QL model.
 
I think my velocities are great! I'll shoot this load if it's safe. That would put an end to my suffering and disappointment on the cartridge.
 
Yes. Those velocities are great.

As fast as your barrel is is as slow as my 7mm barrel barrel is.

COAL??
 
Don't remember my over all length but with the hornady bullet bullet comparator gauge on my calipers it measures 2.816"
 
Broz if you are looking to unload that ss barrel and setup i would be interested. thanks terry
 
can someone run a ql for me?

280AI
24" barrel
210 fed m primer
rl 26 powder with 63.5 grains
coal is 3.495"
QL is not perfect and there would still be a lot of adjustments if it were my own but....

If you have no shiny spots, primers are still "rounded" etc...
I would believe you are good.

No one can say for sure as it's up to you but all indications are ok.
