[QUOTE="30calyooper, post: 2066113, member: 107258"] Yes I agree on the Hornady data - have seen the similar to what you report. I suppose it really does come down to various factors such as the individual rifle and of course shooting conditions. But - I have learned that their listed max loads should be approached carefully, as the hottest load might impress with it's velocity...but sometimes takes you right out of the sweet spot for accuracy. And if you don't match their recipe for components exactly...well, I suppose that is why they advise that it's best start at the bottom and work up. Then again all of this is common anytime you have load data grouped for 3-4 different bullets of the same weight...not uncommon for each to have a different charge weight for best accuracy. I've always wondered why the manuals don't present different data for different bullet styles - you don't need to be a rocket scientist to know that a longer high-BC bullet sticking deeper into a case will have a different pressure curve than a shorter flat base of the same weight. It would be nice if the safe test results for each different bullet were listed separately, but I guess you'd be paying a lot more for a loading manual!
