[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 1502314, member: 95344"] Yes you could do a ladder test to find max "safe" pressures but that all depends on a person's ability to read pressures. And without ballistics pressure equipment, proof loads, or experience it's pretty subjective. Ken Water's method on reading pressures is how I got started. And I suggest reading up on it and practicing. Another way to do it is use reloading manuals and try to use "accuracy loads" that are on the low to mid range loads. Nosler's accuracy load with the 130gr BT is with using H4831sc starting load. I've found the "sc" powders alittle faster than the standard so the OP is probably safe using the book load. [/QUOTE]
