[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1903655, member: 69478"] That’s actually a pretty standard method of working up to pressure. Some loads in some books are over pressure in some rifles and squibs in others. If you’re using good techniques with a good scale and workin up in .2-.4gr increments, you’re not going to go from perfectly fine no pressures signs to a hand grenade unless you used the wrong powder or wrong charge weight. I’ve loaded many many combos that aren’t in books or have any data for and I have yet to blow up a gun lol. When you feel the bolt get stiff when opening or start to see an ejector mark, then back off at least 0.5 grains and call that your max. There is no safety in just picking what the book says is max and shooting it. You can go off chrono data, but that doesn’t always tell you the full story. [/QUOTE]
