I have always loaded from my old Hodgdon reloading manual and happened to look at their online reloading data. I discovered that my old load for my Rem Model 700 BDL 7mm Rem mag is way over their recommended maximum load as listed in Hodgdon's online data . I compared my old Hodgdon book with the current online data and found huge discrepancies in the listed volumes for H 4831. My old 7 MM with 160 gain Sierra Spitzer, 65 grains H4831 Federal 215 primer exceeds the60 grain maximum. What's happened?
I'm confused. I have used my old load safely in several 7mm Rem Mag rifles for the last 20 years.
