Thank you DWH but I am a little confused, Nosler book shows 83g of RL 22 as max so I started with 83g of 26 which only chronyed at 2804 fps. So it looks like that is still way under pressure. What would the unadjusted quikload have projected? Thanks. By the way rifle is a MARKV with .378 freebore.

COAL , measured off the tip is an important input for quickload .
what chrony are you using ?
I stumbled into a little info I've been playing with . just to see how it makes things line up .

great .
would you double check a couple case water capacities ? you want to weigh a fired unsized case . then fill it with water , until the water is flat with the top of the case neck and weigh it again . the difference is the water capacity . I use a child's medicine syringe for filling the case with water . if you get a little bubble on top of the case , just touch it with a paper towel ,it will absorb it right off .the reason I'm asking your 99.5 grain capacity is less than quickload has as a default , I usually see my capacities more than what's listed .

Jimbires: I don't have any unsized brass until I shoot again. I weighed some new 20 year old brass against some newly purchased and the new old weighed 224g vs. the new at 227g. They both held 99.9g of water. I can't weigh a case full of water on my 50 year old balance scale without it tipping over.

**** MAX *** 87.8 gr . quickload 3013 FPS . I'll guess your actual velocity will be about 2970 FPS .

88.0 gr actual velocity 2974 FPS .... quickload 3020 FPS difference of 46 FPS
89.0 gr actual velocity 3037 FPS .....quickload 3054 FPS difference of 17 FPS
85.0 gr we had a difference of 68 FPS , now 89.0 gr we have a difference of 17 FPS . the other powder charges seem to be about 45 FPS difference . I like to see things line up across the whole range , it makes me have more confidence in the info . just watch for pressure signs , and use commonsense .

Dewey , it's been brought to my attention that I stepped on your toes . that wasn't my intention when I got involved in this thread . if I did I'm sorry .
