Bought myself a crony and was very disappointed in what i saw.
Used nosler book and started from the bottom of the scale and worked my way up. Used imr4350 powder and nosler 140grain accubond
42grains about 2200 fps
46grains about 2400 fps
factory federal vital shok 2600 fps 140grain bt

I was really hoping for around 2800 to 3000 with hand loads.
I see some have gone up too 48grains of imr4350 but don't have the experience to know what to look for exactly. On 46grain hand load there wasn't any splitting of cases or any bulged or flattened primers. Whats your thoughts?
