[QUOTE="243winxb, post: 2111781, member: 97793"] Yes in some rifles. This is why we work up. The 3 grs of powder, to get to maximum, is a lot. The maximum load is dependent on components. A Sierra 150gr FMJBT needs it own load data, for this bullet. Does Sierra show this 1 bullet or a bunch of 150 gr bullets of different types, with [B]generic load data?[/B] [ATTACH type="full"]250377[/ATTACH] I looked at the Hodgdon website data using IMR 4064, to get an idea of the maximums. Plus other data showing a range of IMR-4064 From 44.2 grains to 53.6 grs. Most show 52 gr maximum with different bullets. When neck sizing only, i find the bolt becomes had to close, soon or later. Then the brass must be Full Length Resized. If neck sized loaded ammo has never caused a crush fit when closing a bolt action, the loading is on the light size. [/QUOTE]
