[QUOTE="varmintH8R, post: 877971, member: 39801"] You are right - the book loads I have are not for the Bergers. Typically I'll find similar (not exact) bullet constructions at the same weight and compare across sources to get an idea of max. Then I'll run a charge test in .5 grain increments to that Max recording velocity and any pressure signs. Here is what I used to get a feel for "book max" in 168gr target bullets using H4831. My velocities are pretty much in line with published. Hodgdon, 168MK, 57.7gr H4831, 2779MV Nosler, 168custom comp, 58.0 H4831SC, 2806MV [/QUOTE]
