[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2452625, member: 63925"] Ok, your load is 60.0 of Retumbo with 153 A-Tip, as stated this a 4.0 full grains over max load listed by Hodgdon for the 153 A-Tip. This is in dangerous territory to be 4 grains over any listed load. It doesn't matter what Berger has to say for their 153 in comparison to the 153 A-Tip. Different bullet construction, alloy materials, bearing surfaces, cannot be assumed to be equivalent load data. IMO back off the 153 A-Tip load within established published load data. We all try to gain "little bit" but 4.0 grains is not considered a "little bit". This is at least 7% over published load data and who knows what the actual pressure truly is. I have always trusted powder load data more than bullet load data. Powder manufacturers are not trying to sell glitzy performance of their bullets. JMO [ATTACH type="full"]343656[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
