So are we to understand you are working with a 22" bolt action rifle?
Barrel length will have little or no effect on max pressure as upper pressure is realized in the first few inches of bullet travel down the barrel.
If you are working with a bolt action as i think, I understand. Primer protrusion & flatness would offer some strong hints. Resistance on bolt lift would indicate you have likely exceeded pressure limits.
Not sure if anyone on this side of the pond has had any exposure to RS52. See they list load data for .24 nosler with up to 100 grain bullets. Looks like burn rate may be close to IMR 4320 / Varget. for the most part I feel you are on your own with this propellant.
Would contacting Reloader swiss be a option in terms of seeking a start point?
My limited knowledge on this propellant is giving me the impression that you will not be likely able, to fit enough powder under the 107 SMK to get to max pressure for a bolt gun.
So I would reach out to the distributer & share the water capacity of your cartridge & see if they may be able to offer some insight as they likely have more experience in this matter than most if not all of us here.
Keep us posted!
