[QUOTE="Jcann, post: 3348276, member: 33119"] I've never looked for a lower mv accuracy node. Usually I'm trying to achieve the safest higher mv accuracy node. Thankfully this didn't cost me a Savage rifle. Usually I can safely exceed published maximum load data with a given round. Over the years I began to view those max. loads basically as suggestions. As long as you work up charge weights slowly, watch for pressure signs, and stay consistent everything works out. NOT WITH LAPUA BRASS, I couldn't even load to published maximum load data. It's a trade off with brass. With inexpensive brass you can usually achieve higher muzzle velocity accuracy nodes and with expensive brass, brass with thicker walls, consistent weights/lengths you'll loose velocity and have to settle with a lower velocity accuracy node. I don't know the H2O volume of Peterson brass vs Lapua but the Peterson brass seems to be very good. Maybe on par with Lapua and the cost is less than Lapua by about $20-$25 a hundred. I'll continue working with Peterson brass, hopefully it will be a happy medium between the Remington and Lapua brass. [/QUOTE]
