Any w.a.g. pressure estimates on a 30-06 W/ 168gTTSX, 52.0g Varget, fed 215M,@ 2912fps? Good groups, 45" drop@500yds (measured) no pressure warning signs. Thanks for any help in advance.   | ||

Since flat primers, ejector marks and other "pressure signs" usually occure around 70-75K psi I would suspect your are under that as a fair W.A.G. ------------------------------------ The trouble with the Internet is that it's replacing masturbation as a leisure activity. ~Patrick Murray "Why shouldn`t truth be stranger then fiction?

Based on your velocity your cases will not last long before you get loose primer pockets. You velocity is about the same as produced by a max load of IMR4350 which is about 58 grains. 4350 is a much slower powder. I don't think you can cheat Sir Isaac Newton. | |||

Hodgdon says 50.5 grains of Varget with a 168 grain bullet will get you 2859 fps at 49,200 CUP Frank "I don't know what there is about buffalo that frightens me so.....He looks like he hates you personally.

Quick load predicts about 65k PSI. SAAMI spec is a max of 60k in the 30.06, which QL predicts around 50.5gr of Varget. | |||
