Nice! Any idea what velocities you are getting? I worked up to 46.5 grains of IMR4831. Shot great with a small ES, but only got 2600 FPS out of my 22" barrel. IMR/Hodgdon lists 46.3 as the max on IMR4831 at 2700 FPS. 2700-2750 FPS is my target velocity... I may need to try other powders.

Not yet going back tomorrow with the magneto.
Mine is a 16in setup last time I checked it around 2450 with one load and 2550 with another. Now that I found what powder I will check velocity and es tomorrow
