[QUOTE="muleyman, post: 405455, member: 11540"] Looking at the Hodgdon website they list 59 grns as max with a 165 sierra SPBT for a velocity of 2938 fps. With what your describing, I still don't see it as being too hot of a load. I've never really spent too much time with Lapua brass, from what I hear it is tough as hell so maybe after 5 or so firing if the primer pockets are stretching, might be a bit hot, but still if you're happy with what you've got, I'd say shoot it. Just remember that some variables can change the pressure, say you loaded and tested the rounds in the middle of winter and now its summer and your casing were on the dashboard of a truck, the extra heat can cause higher pressures. Just keep an eye out. [/QUOTE]
