[QUOTE="YZ-80, post: 1972477, member: 109229"] Well, the published max is 52.0 but I’ve seen pressure at 51 with the Nosler so I loaded a few check charges from 49.0 up to be safe. Took it up to 51.2 with no issues and it shoots so I left it there. I think the rifle has a tight chamber cause I was trying to load up some new Hornady brass which was measuring 1.953 on the Sinclair bump gauge and my fire formed Winchester brass blows out only to 1.950. I couldn’t get the new Hornady stuff to bump lower than 1.950, even with a heavy cam-over. No carbon ring and clean dies so I dunno what’s up. At any rate, I was very happy to find 16 new pieces of Winchester brass that I had packed away before I moved to my new house. Maybe I need to anneal the new Hornady brass? In any event, the Win brass holds up very well in this rifle. BTW - I’m 20 thousandths off on the Berger. [/QUOTE]
