[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 654737, member: 48043"] Sounds as though you may want to alter your powder choice, as you are altering burn rate as you add fuel to the fire. This is rather common with ball type powders, and with medium cases (the '06 clan) I've actually been able to use more of a given powder with a heavier bullet of similar construction because the heavier load had slowed the powder down. I've also been able to push past medium charges that were seemingly topped out and get a good bit more out of the load. With stick powder, it is a sign that you are topped out and any more powder will just make the rifle work harder for the same result. I'm curious as to why you are only using 1/2 grain increments on a caliber that is able to burn 50 grains. [/QUOTE]
