OP Sportdog Campfire Regular S Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 646 Southwest Michigan	I want to load up some 52 Grain A-Max bullets for my grandson who will bringing his Weatherby S1 Vanguard 223 with him and will only be here for a weekend. So I won't have time to do normal load work up and seating depth checking so I wondered if anyone could give what they would consider a safe COAL for his rifle or is this something that would just be impossible. Thanks for any information or thoughts.
