Guys please take this as an honest question and not criticism. I have consulted 4 different resources (Hogden, Nosler, Lee, and Hornady) and the MAX load I found listed for the 150g projectile and H-4831 was 55.7 grains. Aren�t you guys pushing the envelope a bit here? Are you all using more �traditional� loading data from the past which is stouter than today�s publications present? Even as such, have not powder burning rates changed�even lot to lot?
With no pressure testing equipment, my theory is to error on the side of caution in hand loading. I don�t go above book max, as an extra 100-200 fps does not make any difference in the real world. If I feel the need for speed; I go with a larger cartridge rather than hot-rod a smaller case. I look forward to your replies.
