I think the pressures where up there. I will get some photos, but it may be a few days. There was no sooting and chamber wall impressions were more prevelant than with factor rounds. I had a few of those with me. The case capacity with LG, bullets seated to cannulure is 34 grs.
I did not bother with ES because I was shooting just single charges. I will load some more up and check them this weekend. In terms of accuracy, ALL shots went in a 3 inch group at 100 yards. To really assess this I need to more to 200 yards. The range that I shoot at had the KD range shut down by the police last week due to errant rounds sent skyward towards a housing area during a "F" Class Rifle Match.
I will pass on the measurement in the next day or two.
