[QUOTE="glassman, post: 206239, member: 6503"] 280rem, I respect your way of doing your loading and I am sure the way you do it works good for you and that is the main thing. But as this thread started out, [B]about knowing your velocity will determine your MAX load[/B], well, I am still in disagreement on this part. Many thousands of reloaders have loaded for years and have found the "max" load for their guns with out ever using the chronograph. I haven't used my chronograph in many years now and I have found the "max" load on many of my rifles, plus some for friends, with out using one. [B]Sure, I may not know what the Velocity is, but I sure know what the max load is![/B] When you have the "max" load, then it isn't going to matter what the velocity is, unless you need the figures for [B]looooong[/B] range shooting Head Space is the first thing I am checking, second is miking the case above the head, 3rd is the primer. Here is case in point: Speer Mag Tip bullet, it will give [B]less[/B] velocity, with [B]higher [/B]pressures, than say, a Speer SP, with the same given powder charge. Oh...one more thing, just for info, in my Hodgdon manual, the 140 gr 280 has a load of 58gr of RL 19 for max...no bullet style given tho. Happy Hunting. [/QUOTE]
