Based on the velocity of the 51.0 load I did not shoot the 51.5 or the 52.0 loads I had with me.


I think you are there and your rifle shoots similar to mine. I could go higher with only slightly flattened primers but no need to push it too hard. I am staying at this level and 51.5 for the 129-130s.
