[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 1114807, member: 39764"] Eric Steckler and others address that quite well. Myself, I'm not a fan of excessive pressure and what it can do (though most modern sporting firearms do have cross drilled holes in the receiver just for that scenario. Better to 'let the fire out sideways' than have the fire come backwards...in your face...lol (in case you wonder what those 2 drilled holes are for in your receiver....) But then, I don't like cratered primers and or sloppy pockets after one load nor do I like metal transfer on the bolt face..... just say'in. Load laddering, I always go +10 past the lands (jam) and then right on Eric's regimen with one group loaded TTL as well but always with a medium powder charge, splitting whatever the recommended maximum load is, in half. Interestingly, none of my rifles (including the one off custom built ones) like a LTL or +10 jump with VLD's. [/QUOTE]
