[QUOTE="thekyrifleman, post: 964089, member: 67984"] Thanks Mudd, First, to all on this thread, after reading my post, it sounds rather know it all and that is the last thing I want to project!!! Just a lot of years of shooting and a quite passionate feeling for both these calibers, sometimes it comes across rather strong...IMO if we could all put strain gauges on our rifles, the obvious would become apparent....each is its own....I have never used Quickload but have eagerly read data generated and published by others....only a guideline?? It seems we are still back to bolt lift, primer condition, head expansion, etc. Bob Hagel in his book "Game Loads and Ballistics for the American Hunter" says keep going until you get some stiff bolt lift and then back off a couple of grains.....7RM loads he posts would probably turn us all pale, but I have gone there with my RM as mentioned in my last post and then I had a true magnum. Here's a guy that has participated in the harvest of some 1000 elk!!! Not to mention all other types of game. Again, just sayin'. :) [/QUOTE]
