[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2392233, member: 116181"] The Hornady book also goes so low and slow on some powders I'd be more worried about a pressure spike on the slow end and not the fast end. They're a conservative source on the top end, best to compare with Hodgdon's data as the powder vendor. Looks like Hodgdon goes up to 40.6 for the 60gn V-Max and up to 41.0gn for a non-V-Max 55gn bullet. 41.0gn max all the way down to 40gn bullets, but pressure falls off on the loads. I read his comment to be 55gn bullet weight, not charge weight. You're not fitting 55gns of anything into a 22-250 case, unless you melt some lead and pour it in 🤡 [/QUOTE]
