[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 1902760, member: 104363"] New SAAMI spec cartridges without or with little loading data is what makes me really think it thru, challenge assumptions by digging into velocity claims. For me, yes I will ask in this forum and certainly work from a low pressure, all the way up to a max velocity that I can point to in powder manufacturers, bullet manufacturers of similar cartridge designs. The claims of way fast speeds by the few are outliers that aren't worth chasing. Even at the chance of missing an upper node, I'm usually more comfortable staying away from hot loads. If it disappoints in velocity and/or accuracy, I look for another similar and sensible combination of components. Is cautious testing costing me some barrel life? YES. I can always screw on another one, way down the road. [/QUOTE]
