Seafire once told me that a case full, and 60 percent of that case full weight, is a rough "max" for a "no data" workup. The results I've gotten, for BD loads in several 22 cal centerfires with LIGHT bullets, correspond pretty well with that 60 percent suggestion.
You should always work up carefully, a good ways below the "max" as BD is fast, makes stiff pressures, and will make REALLY stiff pressures in a big, scary hurry. Treat it with respect.
Amen,
its not for novices or those who haven't been reloading very long.
and it takes good loading discipline at the reload bench to prevent getting a double charge with lighter loads
and it WILL F'UP YOUR RIFLE....
AND SOMEONE'S POOR LOADING TECHNIQUE, ISN'T MY FAULT OR PROBLEM....
ya don't like that, then DON'T USE IT.
