Hey guys, I have been trying to get 3000fps out of my .243 PSS. I am shooting 105Amaxmoly in Win. cases with RL22. Is this at all possible? I have gotten results of 2860fps with 44g but I am showing some ejector smear. I am in E Washington at about 2400 elev. Is there a better powder for this? The OAL is just kissing.

It has the palm swell stock. Don't know for sure just compared it to a .308 PSS and every thing is the same.

My Hodgdon #27 manual shows a max velocity of 2930 for the 105 AMax. Since you're only at 2860 and showing pressure signs, the answer to your question appears to be: No.
It's also nice and cold outside, probably more so at 2400 than where I live. If your load is borderline at these temps, in the summertime it could be very bad. Back off a grain or so and find a good accurate load.

Try RL 25. I believe that George is using about 47.5 grains with a 115 grain DTAC. You could probably start about 45 gr. and work up to your speed/accuracy node. JMHO

Spokane. Well if the book is all you have ever read you wouldn't think you could get 3000 fps. It can be done.

"I have gotten results of 2860fps with 44g but I am showing some ejector smear.
Seating at the lands ALWAYS raises pressures. Seat deeper, maybe 60 - 70 thou off the lands, and you can add more powder. Move closer only if you absolutely need to.
