you got that right 45gr barnes solid at 2800 with h110 also found what the max load in my test gun is. this is working out super nice with 40 gr balistic tips just under 2800 nice little rifle I may see what I can get with a faster powder but I bet not much more

Crusher: Who you replying to with this??
Looks like you got off the thread somewhere pard.

Hey, from what I understand the 5.7 only makes about 2100, not 2800.
How you doing it??

What's the chance of getting some of your empty brass?? You got any extra's?

Figure you dump 'em after you load a few time's. I'd be happy with those you've reloaded and ready to discard long as they're not cracked. I don't care how much they've been loaded.

Thanks much,

George

in a bolt gun its easy to get 2700 - 2800 with out pressure problems the hold up is the blowback action of the fn pistol and rifle wont hold it I built this as a reloadable 22 mag but have passed hornet and love it. the factory stuff is around 2100 but they left a pile of velocity on the table for the reloader

working on some new loads but I shot a turky in the head at 75 yds with the old one they tend to shoot very well one hole from the right rifle
