Already fixed it.
QL is kind of funny with certain bullets in this cartridge. Shortens the COAL automatically.
Might want to try 17 if the ;ight bullets don't blow up in that 7 twist.

It's interesting. SAAMI max is 55,000 PSI. I've been shooting 28.0 grains of 2520 with a 53 grain Varmageddon
I can raise it if you'd like?

I have the 70 RDF moving 2870 right now but wanted something for coyotes as well. I have had the RDF blow up, causing superficial damage to a few jacks and don't feel comfortable shooting them at a dog. A few others have passed clean through. The only other bullets I have on hand, is the Hdy 60gr HP and the 88gr ELD-M.
