[QUOTE="The Oregonian, post: 953098, member: 51405"] New to reloading and have equipment on order so I haven't even done cartridge #1 yet. My question is about safety margin with powder charge. In no way am I saying that being sloppy and careless is the way to proceed. I am only doing my 270 win for now and plan to lean significantly more towards OCD than sloppiness. Hypothetically speaking, if a max load is 57gr and a developed load is 55gr, at roughly what point will things get truly dangerous? Not talking about flattened primers - but at what point will the action blow (or something to that effect)? Not looking for an exact number, but is it around 60gr? 65gr? etc? Again, I will be extremely careful and thorough - just looking for a ballpark guess as to what the allowable error is before either the gun or shooter is in bad shape. [/QUOTE]
