Made some more progress 34gr first sign of ejector mark at 2858fps (1st pic the brass) ran up to 34.4gr (2895fps) got a good ejector mark but no signs of priner flattening out.

Had some 90gr tgk 34.4gr of leverevolution got my 3060fps and no pressure signs. Might load up some more to try out for a back up option or option for closer range work. The 90gr tgk and 108eldm both grouped in the same 5" circle at 457yrds.

Loaded up 5 more at 34gr and ill say that good enough confirmed out to 487yards 2.5mils

I’d be careful as you speed up, that’s cooking.

Peterson brass is said to have much less capacity than alpha or Lapua, might be worth exploring if you want to retain some speed.
