yea !
finally someone else who see's things like i do.
i caught all kinds of grief over my velo's with my 257. i loaded to where it said it had enough, it loves the load, and tells me it's not over pressured yrt.

but alot of guys here say it is dangerously high pressured.

i have several different books, some being really old.
loads vary in them for the same powders from book to book.
i ask what's a favorite load for some calibers i am not familiar with, check books, and go from there.
but each gun will tell you when enough is enough.
i know ya can't make a 30-06 into a 300 rum, but i do want all the performance a given cartridge will deliver.
and sometimes even slow em down for a particular hunting situation where all the speed and blast isn't needed, when it's a favorite rifle.
but if i want out right performance, i'll load em til the rifle tells me it doesn't like it when i can't get good accuracy, or the brass says enough.


books aren't bibles.
