[QUOTE="Lrt307, post: 1152817, member: 57068"] I understand this. I am not arguing the point about safe loads and good shooters. I am here to tell you that I used to run waaaaay high psi and hot hot hot loads in my STW before I even knew much at all about reloading . I am lucky I didn't get blown up! I was running 85.5 grains of RL 25 with fed 215 primer and 160 barnes xlc. My gun actually shot ok and bolt lift was fine. Brass was getting the **** beat out of it. I was young and didnt know any better. I was loading for speed back then. The 160's across my chronograph were running 3450-3473 all day long. I have no doubt at all you can hit 3650 or so with a 140 like I said before "loaded up" now is it safe or a good idea NO! [/QUOTE]
