[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 278308, member: 12"] got to agree with Kevin here. You would think that people will do the smart thing, but the fact is that they will not normally. They will take a "posted" load, load it to max, and go for it. they will take the max load from the gunsmith and load it and go to a match. Guy took a new very popular big boomer with 10 grains less than the max his gunsmith told him he could easily use, went to the Ohio tactical match 2 wks ago and was locking the bolt up, plus getting 240 fps less than his gunsmith said. Now if he had added that other 10 grains, new gun and face transplant. Obviously no testing of load data and that either means novice reloader with a gun well over his reloading skill capabilities for him to do that or just rectal cranial inversion. Either way it was not tested obviously. Novice reloaders do not understand the nuances of reloading and the cold hard facts that every gun in the same chambering can run wildy different loads. Just read thru the posts here on this site on the typical recommended 300 RUM loads. One guy says 92 gr of xx, the next says 96 gr of xx . the next says 91.5 gr of xx locks his bolt up. Same bullet, same powder and three dramatically different results in three different guns. Plus here is the real clincher, no one normally mentions with what primer, and change primers and pressure can go up or down 3000 psi or more easily. Kevin is spot on! BH [/QUOTE]
