[QUOTE="ken snyder, post: 510694, member: 26019"] Emmagator published data has already gone through all the testing I need to feel confident that a midrange load is a safe place to start. Once I leave published data I'm on my own. Published numbers are believed to be safe and representative of reasonable care and advice A warning is given in every manual. It is true that many exceed maximum listings for published data with no ill effects, but an individual rifle will not allow its personal pressures to be exceeded without doing something not desireable. As I approach max listings or even exceed them I am very careful of random occurence and have very often found that a once believed good and no bad signs load to readily demonstrate undesireable characteristics at a later time and without warning. Some will say its a temperature related problem or some other concern, For me it boils down to border line, no signs given until they happen, the reasons this occurs is under my control. 500 fps is an interesting concern, is there any genuine thing reguarding pressure that I a fellow shooter can maturely comment on. I have seen only twice 500 fps slower velocity, 1 time a bonafide mislabeled barrel and the second time was a mistaken cartridge identification ( shooting his buddys similar looking cartridges). My Wild Cat cartridges and personal experiences In testing them leads me to a different understanding as to what is safe and even what is readily observable with limited testing and I don't want to get away with it until I wont. I definately do not want a missed opportunity because my need for speed pushed my cartridges into the oops category and by my own hands as well. [/QUOTE]
