BEN243QUICKLOAD
If one of you guys with this program gets a free minute, would you please run the following calculation for me. I'd like to know the maximum load, within the pressure limits, for the following:
Caliber 243
Barrel 22" {Remington 700}
Bullet Sierra 85 gr HPBT
Powder RL-15
I'm starting to work with this powder and although I will be looking closely for pressure signs, I'd rather not exceed the limit.
Thanks in advance, BEN243

muckBen243:
My run on Quickload gives this load.
Rl 15 41.0gr
sierra 85 gr
22" barrel
Velocity projected 3168 fps
at a predicted peak pressure of
60182 psi NOTEING SAMMI MAX of 60190
That is ONLY 8 psi
BE CAREFUL !!!
