[QUOTE="Forester, post: 493444, member: 11102"] I think the biggest issue is where certain cartridges are held back over fear about what rifle the loads might be used in. Look at the 45-70 as a perfect example. Most manuals separate loads for it based on rifle type and age but that is not the case with all rounds. Take a look at Hodgdon's data for the 7mm Rem Mag, I just have a hard time believing there is not a throttle on that data. I have exceeded some of those loads by 5-7% in the past before even a soft Federal primer gets flattened much at all. I have seen it duplicated with a 22" barrel and great brass life, no sticky bolt, or any other significant pressure signs. [/QUOTE]
