[QUOTE="Drummer1818, post: 1357372, member: 103048"] Tonight I was reloading rounds for my .338 LM and I decided to go with Berger bullets as they seem to be the popular choice! I purchased some cheaper bullets (Sierra 250grn MatchKings) just to get through the break in process and copper equilibrium build up as cheaply as possible! I noticed that I was putting more powder in the case for the smaller bullet than my Berger 300grn hunter elites! So my question is the Berger 300 grn says max load is 72.9 with about 2519fps but the Sierra bullet with the same weight can go all the way to 78.2 with my powder and reaches 2650 FPS! I would really like to run the hotter load but I want to make sure it is safe first! So is it safe? can I put 78.2 grns of powder in the case when the bullet manufacture says no, if another company says yes? Thanks!!! [/QUOTE]
