My self I don't own one but I have a buddy that is getting 3400 fps with 140 accubond with imr-4350 and I know it sounds crazy but it was verified on 2 different chronys. No pressure and safe in his gun which in a Remington. I could not believe it myself.
It sounds crazy and stupid. Taking a look at both Nosler and Hodgdon Maximum loads, it's not a miracle or mystery to me how he's getting over 200 fps more velocity over maximum, he's obviously adding quite a bit more powder, therefore creating more pressure and velocity, your friend is a moron sir. I don't know why the hell people keep thinking reading brass for signs of pressure is worth a schit, THE ONLY WAY TO HAVE ANY IDEA OF PRESSURE IN A CARTRIDGE IS TO CHRONOGRAPH YOUR LOADS AND COMPARE TO LEGITIMATE DATA SUCH AS HODGDON, NOSLER, ETC.
