Thanks xtr, i think i have 4831sc topped out or near it without having to trash the brass. I am looking at alternatives that may get me some more velocity than 2950fps in a 27" barrel with less pressure on the brass.
I will look at the 4831 thread you posted some more, but i am at 45.8 now with 2950 to 2975 fps have yet to re shoot the load over chrono and that is with the dtac
R26 Yes +1.I couldn't get speed from H4831 either. The RL26 is the best speed getter.

I have quantities of n-160. please share any load data if you will. So far just 4831 .What elevation and temperature?
What scope?
Scott, I don't have a problem any more i went to Lapua brass and it's head and shoulders above WW. If your looking for better accuracy,you have to turn necks and i went with a .272 neck and the Lapua brass lets me do that. I fired one piece of brass 12 times during barrel brake in on a new 5r Bartlein and it's annealed and in the rotation with the rest of the brass. This load of 43.5 has always shot in mid too high one's at a hundred so i guess the old story that Lapua won't work isn't a fact of life any more.........jim
