[QUOTE="mountainman56, post: 1090352, member: 79106"] As a rule of thumb, the older the manual, the more powder you can stuff in. :) What others have said about different testing methods are true but I think the biggest problem today is there are too many lawyers involved in loading data publication. They are so busy covering their butt with both hands that the information, especially max loads, becomes skewed. This is most noticeable in older cartridges, especially ones used in military rifles. Don't get me wrong, I have a literal library of manuals but I use them mostly for powder selection and a starting load. I have yet to find a maximum load on a modern bot action that isn't to the right side of their published max. JM2C [/QUOTE]
