Bruce,

Thank You. Much Appreciated!

Russ

You're Welcome

Bruce

Deerhntr noticed that in my original QL data posts that I had left the COAL set to the length of my 260 Remington loads and not standard COAL. I have corrected the data and anyone who may have copied this can recopy to correct this. This shouldn't be a problem for someone working up to a max load in their firearm but just in case. The pressures did change but not by as much as the powder lot to lot variation at the bottom of the QL charts.

Thanks Deerhntr for bringing this to my attention

Bruce
