[QUOTE="Josh Smith, post: 773226, member: 25978"] Hello, Back off by 2 grains. Sounds like you have a tight chamber, and Hodgdon's starting loads (at least in 7.62x54r) tend to be hotter than other companies' max loads. When I discovered this, I figured out 70% case fill and went with the starting load closest to that. This was from Speer data, if I recall correctly. You might look up Sierra data. They know their bullets. What are you getting over the chrono? Regards, Josh [/QUOTE]
