I have a 270 wsm, I started 140 grain accubond load development with the book RL 26 starting load, got max load velocity and stopped right there. Fast velocity is a pressure sign. If you don't have pressure testing equipment a chronograph is the next best thing. I always try to stay within book velocity with my loads, as you gain very little by exceeding them. You only get to blow your damn head off one time.
