joshm28 14 point J Joined: Dec 2009 Posts: 9,375 Jasper, AL	Originally Posted By: Standbanger Well the weather has kept me from finding out Let me know when you do. For some reason quickload shows about 100 less fps than real life testing and I'm curious about this one. Just went back to double check but that load is only showing 54,551psi. Max for that load is 63k. 44g of H4350 shows pressure at 58k so you may have a little more room depending on YOUR GUN. For that matter 43 may be too hot. Last edited by joshm28; 10/09/17 12:06 PM.
