[QUOTE="britz, post: 260208, member: 7865"] There are many factors contributing to the actual chamber pressure. Case volume (slightly different from brand to brand and lot to lot), primers used, temperature, the actual chamber size, and most notably the bullet disign. A streemlined boat tail will take up more room in the casing than a blunt based hunting bullet. So with that said, you are always better off using data from the actual bullet manufacturer. With that said, It is up to you to deside how far you want to push your load. There are USUALLY (I won't say always) warning signs of excessive pressure, but I'm not going to tell anyone to go beyond the max published data. Earlier this winter I blew out a ejector spring on my savage 22-250 by being well within the loading data. However, due to all the little factors my chamber pressure really spiked prior to hitting the higher recomended load. I got lucky and I'm going to chalk that one up for a lesson learned. "note to self... be carefull". [/QUOTE]
