[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 872762, member: 12443"] from a laymans standpoint i think most would be happy just knowing what will work safely in their gun. fortunitly my gun has a savage action so changing bolt heads due to scarring from blown primers is no big deal. i highly advise the use of norma brass for this reason as opposed to winchester. realize the pressure is still there but the brass handles it better. to me a sticky bolt is the gun telling me when its had enough. i allways start my testing with wildcat cartridges by loading 1 each for each combination i want to use. then increase in 1 grain increments till i come to the stop sign. since i want max performance i work backwards from there with my load testing. im currently using 64 gr h1000 with a 140. the gun works very well and is accurate with that load. i havent tried it on 90 deg days however. nor do i intend doing so as this is strictly a hunting gun. as for the old powders like h870, the only thing good about them is that they were available when nothing else was.
