[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 548206, member: 30902"] It's just the most practical way I've found to start. If it were a rifle in a caliber I was already set up to load for I'd go about it differently. As for the above, no they aren't just finding powders they can cram a case full of for maximum velocities. Rarely will you find any factory loads not specifically marked as +Plus P's that even approach maximums. As litigious as our modern society is, the only safe route for the major manufacturers is to use loads that are going to be absolutely safe for all modern firearms chambered in these calibers. Of course you also run into the issue with factories where they are chambered such that they'll fit in all chamberings so once fired brass which is essentially fire formed to fit each rifle exactly is going to perform much better once reloaded. Even new brass is going to have the same issue. [/QUOTE]
