[QUOTE="Gundoc1, post: 1721253, member: 109420"] Most load recipes in manuals today err on the safe side with Max loadings,that being said you should be all right . You never stated what bullet you were using with the BL c2 powder charge. Having used that powder in my 308 and my 30-06 I am familiar with it sounds like a 150 gr bullet load to me. Unless you know the gun and bullet combo just jumping into a load because it has the greatest F.P.S is counterproductive to why we reload, making the most accurate ammo for the gun is usually the goal and is a process usually done in 1/2 grain implements from start to Max to find your best load aka smallest group with those components. Then you can try different primers cases etc to see if you can shrink groups even more you can also play with the overall length to see what effect that has as you can set your own lead gap before the bullet engages the rifling.so much room for experimentation and learning to just go to the max load is not showing you your gun and load true potential.
