[QUOTE="FrogFire7, post: 2118815, member: 101482"] If your COAL is longer than the book max, you have more case capacity and thus can run higher velocity than the book max. However, if you aren't too familiar with pressure signs, you should back it off to be safe. I often run longer than published COAL, and often run faster than published data for a given cartridge. However, I've also struggled to reach published velocities as well. I think each gun is different. As stated, play it safe. You really aren't gaining much, if anything, by pushing the velocity limit at long range. Nothing you can't compensate for with another click or two on your scope turret. [/QUOTE]
