[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1441461, member: 10755"] I take published velocities and maximums with a grain of salt. You have done exactly what I do, regardless if I exceed book velocities or not, I let my rifle tell me what maximum is. I often get higher velocities than what’s published, but the opposite is also true. If you have a tight chamber/bore you will get higher velocity at LESS powder than a loose chamber/bore combo. Also, if you have a long throat, you may get higher velocities and higher max charge weights over a short throated rifle. There are so many variables that alter the outcome in rifle loading, hence the need to work up your loads. Remember, loading manuals are a guide, not a recipe book. Cheers. :) [/QUOTE]
