[QUOTE="Muskrat Outdoors, post: 2261337, member: 119188"] I would start low, 3 shots per grain of increase, until you get to your old load. If they shoot as well with less powder, why go higher? The load you were useing, you say had no pressure signs so it might be fine? Some books do list some very hot loads. Did you ever see that load printed anyplace else? I loaded some 308 rounds a few years back, that were book loads. They were extremely hot! Primer so flat it looked like one piece of brass! I had trouble getting the action open and tore the extractor through the rim. Had to knock out the brass with a dowel and hammer. Luckily, the gun was not damaged. The load was a MISPRINT!!! YIKES! Now, I always try to find the same load from more than one source. [/QUOTE]
