[QUOTE="Brent, post: 67045, member: 99"] I would consider it a max load, or slightly over. It does depend on the firing pin to bore fit and you may be alright if it's just a sloppy fit, or conversely, you could be really hot if it's a tight clearance. I would pay real close attention to ALL of the pressure indicators, like heavy bolt lift, difficult extraction, prominant ejector marks, primer pocket life. I get to about 100gr Retumbo with a 178 A-Max and consider this a top load "in my rifle". [/QUOTE]
