[QUOTE="jwp475, post: 268944, member: 3776"] Safety first is the order of the day as michele stated. All manuals load to the SAAMI max Average pressure limit in their test barrels which may or may not top out at max the same as your barrel and powder, bullets, etc.. Powder from lot to lot may have a different burn rate. Hogden claims that they maintain a + or - 3%. So if you get one lot that is on the 3% fast side and another lot that is on the 3% slow side that's a 6% swing. [/QUOTE]
