[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1218763, member: 2736"] Actually you did good by checking other resources. I don't think you would have gotten into trouble with 71 grains but you never know because each chamber and barrel combination is different. you were just 2 grains over what one book said but it should have been around 68 grains to start and you should have been ok. but even then I have seen minimum loads smash primers and cause heavy bolt lift because of faulty chambers. It is a good lesson for all to learn from, (Never start with a Max load even if you think the manual is conservative. I would have started 3 or 4 grains lower and worked up. Look at the positive side. you caught your mistake and chances are you will never do it again. Almost all re loaders make some sort of mistake and if they are lucky, catch it and prevent problems. If not they learn the hard way. Good catch !!! J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
