[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 369201, member: 15748"] They're a starting point, and that's what you need to keep in mind. The variables in firearms and reloading components tend to make all this stuff a lot more flexible than many people realize, in both the good and bad directions. Use the starting load listed, but don't drop down below that. Not a problem with many powders, but a very real problem with others. Rather than trying to ennumerate each of these, you gt the blanket warning about not dropping below the listed starting charge. Working up, the same cautions apply. If the data shows that you're not yet at max, but are getting sticky bolt lift and loosened primer pockets, yeah, you're already past the max. They're good numbers, but just don't assume that any sort of reloading data is carved in stone. Kevin Thomas Lapua USA [/QUOTE]
