[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 832233, member: 4809"] Every manufacturer has their own data / load tables. As you note, they can vary widely - even with the same bullet and powder combinations. I believe potential legal liability has a lot to do with where each mfg. draws the line. So what you have is a lot of book wisdom stacked against your own practical experience. You have a load the works well for you with the 85 gr. bullet. It is not a max load. So drop down a couple of grains and start working back up with your 80 gr. bullet. Don't worry about shooting below min. loads. There is no danger in shooting a load under min. load data. The bullet just won 't perform well. Even std. calibers such as the .308 that are load down to subsonic velocities (1,040 to 1,080) fps still function in a rifle and will not leave a bullet stuck in the barrel. The real danger is loading too hot and damaging your rifle, or worse- you or the shooter next to you. Go with what your experience has shown you with your own rifle and load development work.
