[QUOTE="aushunter1, post: 1721131, member: 57533"] .7gr isn't that much over max, I have on occasions gone up to 1gr over as long as I have worked up the load properly & the pressure signs aren't significant. But in saying that, no one else can tell you something will be safe in your rifle!! Still a lot of the time rather than increasing powder charge I do also look at other methods of fine tuning a load like changing the seating depth in 5/10/15thou & out 5 thou off the lands. 5 thou off the lands is the closest I will go in a hunting rifle as I done want to chance a round accidently not chambering OR leaving the projectile in the chamber if I need to extract the round. I start all my LD at 10th off the lands & once I find a half decent charge between the min/max I start playing with the CBTO. [/QUOTE]
