Sorry for the delay, got sidetracked with a few things.

Thanks, and I saw 2538 (avg) with Ackley's starter load of 3031, but got pressure signs also at just a half grain above that, so 3031 does not appear to be the way to to. LVR is an interesting powder to load- before this rifle was rechambered, 38.0 LVR under the Speer 150 FN averaged 2514 fps, and that is a half grain under Hodgdon's max load for .30-30 Win. Experiments with LVR in the AI cartridge have been interesting, but no conclusions yet.
