[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 1904743, member: 93895"] I have some very old manuals. Some of the powders listed in them are now older powders, like imr4350. The loads they list are actually pretty darn hot for that power. More recent manuals are much more conservative for imr4350. I know that many people rule velocity as the standard for max load. While that is a very good indicator I do not believe it is infalable. Max could be a fair amount slower or faster all based on the physical state of the bore, headspace, freebore, virgin or fired brass, full size or neck sized , how muchover sized the chamber was for the fired brass if neck sizing only etc.... But yes, based on velocity, it may very well be the safer bet. Software probably being the most useful of all. Its worth watching for traditional signs also while working up. [/QUOTE]
