need a bit more of your info but here is a quick look for you

 

R17 will give you better burn rate and less powder used

 

i am using R17 with 95 V max and 140 Bergers just got to chrono them for velocities

snowz thanks for the reply am i right in thinking the quick load is showing 47.5 grns of reloader 19 what do you need to know as regards more info thanks

Yes 47.5 is mild 47.6 starts a max/hot load

 

barrel length,

H2o case capacity

 

i dont normally worry about them tho i just use QL to show me the safe Max load, even tho this is just a precaution i then work my own loads up until signs of pressure etc.

H20 case capacity is how much water does your case hold.

 

Prime a empty case and weight it, then fill it with water to the top and weigh it again, whatever the difference is thats the H20 case capacity.

 

with 26" tube gives an extra 54fps over the 24" tube in previous result

primed empty case is 165.7 filled with water 220.7 = 55 on powder scale 5-0-5 rcbs is this ok

yup thats what it shows on QL.

 

if you look in the left hand box on the bottom right it shows "maximum case capacity overflow"
