[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 417157, member: 2736"] Very good advice by all !!!!! Don't worry about the velocity because each rifle will shoot at different velocities. Load up and watch your groups as you go. some rifles like hot or near max loads other rifles like the mild loads. But watch for any signs of pressure. And reduce the load by 1 grain to be safe under all conditions. If you don't like the velocity at max pressure change powders and start low and work up. All loading manuals are designed to be in a safe range of pressure for most rifles and should followed with caution when going to max loads. Most of the manuals have loaded down from the old days because now everyone wants max velocities. (Look at the old Hornady manuals and compare them with the new ones). Powder has changed over the years and the manuals have changed with them, so don't assume that they are no longer correct, because burn rates change from batch to batch. One last thing, Check your chronagraph against some friends chronagraph just to make sure it's not giving you false readings/Velocities. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
