[QUOTE="Vettepilot, post: 1981851, member: 114372"] Well, I was somewhat afraid this would happen. Even though I tried to specify that my question related to velocity and pressure, some of you jumped into the accuracy side of the equation. I don't think the accuracy angle is too tough to figure. If they use a high quality and consistent bullet, figure out the most common jump it likes, and load it to that jump on a SAAMI chamber drawing, it ought to shoot "minute of deer" in most guns, at the very least. And one might say, "well, they just load up to SAAMI max pressure, less a small fudge factor, and there you have "magic factory ammo" as regards velocity. But we are warned that "every single gun is different; even two consecutive guns off the assembly line", AND the many times quoted: "This load was safe in THIS gun only; yours will be different." "Start 10% low and work up." Now of course we will work our loads up, both for safety, and to fine tune a load for best performance in our particular gun. But I still wonder how the factories can produce ammo that nudges the upper limit in pressure, yet is safe in all the different, individual, guns out there. Vettepilot [/QUOTE]
