[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 691959, member: 48043"] 1. Do you have pet loads that exceed the Max published data? yes, but only marginally- I use some rounds like the 7stw that don't always have published data for certain combinations- if and when it becomes available it is usually within a grain- if not I'll alter my charge to adhere to the published data's velocity 2. Do you load for accuracy and let the velocity be what it'll be? yes and no; I will not tolerate several hundred fps low, but if it's within 100 fps or so I don't worry 3. Do you load for accuracy as long as it's under the max? yes-- with published data-- if not published I use the cartridges capability as a baseline for where I go-- you know dang well that safe loads really aren't going many hundred fps over average book speed for a caliber 4. Do you load for the most velocity you can get out of your particular rifle? no, but I do push over the threshold I have in mind if the loads are unpublished (as with mil-surp. powders) to assure safety. I won't use a load without at least a few percent headroom Not interested in debating the right or wrong of it. Please no load data it could upset some people. Wish I could make this a poll but I don't know how.[/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]
