[QUOTE="banthony, post: 284881, member: 16153"] First, let me say that this is my first post although I am a regular reader of what other's post. I have found a wealth of information and a lot of first class knowledge regarding loading and for that I would like to say "thank you" to all. I have recently retired and have started shooting again after a long lay off. I have several "sporter" rifles in assorted calibers (222, 22-250, 257Roberts, 257 Weatherby, 270, 7mm08, 308, 30-06, 7mag). I am a life long shooter and reloader but have not shot much and have not done any loading in over 20 years. Well, there you have my story. I have begun shooting and loading for the 308. I have loaded numerous different recipes for it and have enjoyed the effort of looking for the consistent "one hole" group. I wish I could say that I have been successful but a consistent clover leaf has been my best success to date as long as I do my part. I recently purchased some BLC2 and was trying to load 168SMK with 45.4 grains as a starting load with this powder. Somehow I managed to set my balance scale at 49.0 grains instead of the 45.4. ( I still can't believe I did this!) This is 2.5 grains above what Nosler manual #6 says is a "max" load. My question is what should I do with these rounds(only 25 of them). Has anyone shot this powder at this weight or is it unsafe to do so? In my younger years I would have just shot it and believed it would be ok, but today I am hoping someone on here will give me good advice on these "hot" loads. Thanks in advance for any help.
