[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1062450, member: 22069"] No pressure signs. Actual max in my rifle is quite a bit higher than where I am loading, but there is not enough headroom to reach the next higher accuracy node. Quickload shows 82 grains as the default setting for .264 Win Mag case capacity. My actual measured case capacity, using Nosler brass, is 87.8 grains, which is why my actual max is so much higher than shown in book data. I did some careful load work to confirm this for myself. This is a good example of why careful testing, real-world measurements, and generating real-world data is an important habit for any handloader. So many people think they can shortcut the process by using someone else's load data. Such thinking is wrong, unwise, and unsafe. [/QUOTE]
