[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1227748, member: 50867"] There are a lot of methods for working up a load. I use .2 grain increments and stop once I've achieved my accuracy goal. Some reloaders press on further, working for greater MV. I don't. I start in the middle of the reloading manual recommended loads, work up to my accuracy goal, and stay there. Berger's test rifle was not your rifle ... never expect your results to reflect the manuals data. That's why you start low and work up. Good to keep in mind that, once you're experiencing "pressure signs" you passed safe limits BEFORE they occurred. Dangerous pressures generally occur before pressure signs are apparent. Always remember that the idea is to shoot the rifle, not wear it. [/QUOTE]
