Not even worth the [bleep] effort...


16 Sure.....advantage is small.

Point being it isn't worth chasing it in the little case just to show you can reach velocities with it that you won't see anywhere else credible.(pressure tested). You aren't breaking any new ground or proving a thing....just stuffing more powder in and it doesn't take any brains to do that.

If we want it,then we can have it.....just buy a bigger cartridge. smile

Of course this may require compromises like a longer or fatter case,a slightly heavier rifle, etc. Part of the game.

Wasn't chasing anything. Started below published load data. Not sitting here saying hey look at me. Not trying to take any credit. I did not design the powder or the rifle. Just posted what I saw and considered interesting. Quit reading so much into it, it makes you look like you have a complex about it! grin just kidding, I know most of you guys are concerned about the safety aspect.
On a side note, here's a hypothetical. You try this new powder. 7-08, 120 ttsx. You are not seeing any pressure sign. Velocity is very high and you are not near max. Exactly what velocity do you stop at?

60 percent of the time, it works every time
