[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1078581, member: 10755"] The manual, whether Hornady or not, MEANS nothing, taking the data from several manuals and averaging the max is a far better proposition. The ONLY way to determine what ANY load will do in a PARTICULAR RIFLE is to start low and work up. The few grains difference between capacities may or may not make a difference to the max charge required. It is VERY RARE that a production rifle will yield the same pressures as a test barrel used to collect data for reloading manuals, they are a guide only, otherwise they would only list one load and be gospel, but they are not. lightbulb [/QUOTE]
