No.

Realize that barrels and chambers differ.

A barrel with tighter tolerances in groove/land diameter will behave differently than others that may be more generous. Number of lands and gloves will also effect when you may find pressure.

Chambers with generous throats will behave differently than chambers that are short-throated. Etc...

With the same lot of powder in my old barrel that was worn, I was shooting 77 grains of RL-33 and the 140 VLD. Bullet bearing surface has an affect too.

My new barrel topped out at 72.5 grains at winter hunting temperatures (40°)

I'm shooting 72 grains and I have no problems. RL 33 is definitely temperature sensitive and I won't be shooting it at 80°+
