Would someone be so kind as to run the following:
Hornady 175 ELDx
62.8 grn Retumbo
Fed 215
FL sized case
3.330 COL and 3.340 COL
Chrono says 2810 fps at 3.340 COL

Thanks much
 
You forgot to add barrel length, I set it for 24 inches if that is what you have. The last chart is a guide to show max loads and velocity. Work up in increments. Good luck.
