[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 1707761, member: 66917"] Those books are guidelines not absolute solutions for every rifle. You have to do tests with your rifle but slowly working up the powder load to for your guns max. This usually means loading up single rounds and starting below book max and increasing powder .1-.3 grains at a time until you start getting slight pressure signs. Slight pressure signs are heavier than normal bolt lift, ejector marks etc. Then back down from that max. Some things in addition to powder load that effect pressure walls are how deep you have to seat bullets, bullet makeup, and neck tension. [/QUOTE]
