You got that loaded right up there. I'm using 48gr of 2209 with the 175gr interlocks in my Sauer 3000 so you are really pushing them.

Re: 7x65R BD14
I haven't seen any signs of pressure, extraction is very easy and primers look fine.
I just checked my notes and at 49.8 grains I was getting 2510 fps.
Do you know what velocity you are getting with 48 grains?
