[QUOTE="dok7mm, post: 1330982, member: 90080"] Check your load manuals or powder sites for appropriate powders for bullets wt. you want to shoot in your 28. Pick a powder, seating depth, etc. Load .5 gr increments from starting load to max load. Shoot each one over a chronograph and record each velocity. Check each case for any signs of pressure, before you fire the next round. If you don't know how to gauge the pressure signs, you need to read up on it and educate yourself. Basically, the first signs you see are ejector marks, or smears on your brass. Examine primers for catering.Next your bolt will be harder to open. STOP, reduce load by one grain from where you see pressure.That will be the max load for the conditions, powder, bullets and brass you are using. BE SAFE [/QUOTE]
