[QUOTE="fiftybmg, post: 1789396, member: 96316"] That's the logical thought process there, but if we extend the argument to space enough for four extra grains of powder, or five, where do you end up. Mostly, the velocity from the powder manual can't be achieved in hunting rifles, because they use proof barrels and those are usually longer than a hunting rifle barrel. As a general rule, if you have the extra case capacity and a barrel to burn it in, use a slightly slower powder for load development and you could get more velocity without exceeding pressure limits.
