[QUOTE="jlanecr500, post: 5792788, member: 16430"] I don't have your brass and coal variables to throw in the mix. I ran QL as shown below. Fill and burn % are both good around 95%. At SAMMI length, the node will be real close to 35.75gr. I'd start at 35 and work up in .2gr increments all the way to 36gr if needed. Pressure is low. In my experience, Varget likes it hot so it may not be the best powder for this application but appears the numbers work out to get on a lower node. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1000003274.jpg"]207829[/ATTACH] Since Varget likes it hot, I ran the Hornady 208 btsp or interloc. The pressure is better and didn't lose much velocity. The charge lowered to 34.75gr so I'd start at 34gr, working up in .2gr increments to 35gr if needed. [ATTACH type="full"]207830[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
