[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 260206, member: 11717"] Max pressure in a particular cartridge will vary form rifle to rifle and load to load depending on a myriad of things. Bullet design, throat design. neck tension, seating depth, etc. My approach is to start with a conservative starting load, work up 1 gr at a time, and when within 1 or 2 gr of probable max, I work up 1/2 gr at a time. I shoot 2 rounds at each level to look for consistancy. It has never failed me and it is a safe way to proceed. Using H4350, I found *my* max loads (max meaning highest charge not showing excessive pressure signs) to be 66 gr for 180 E-T-ips seated about .050 off the lands and 65.5 for TTSX's seated at the same depth.
