[QUOTE="Three44s, post: 1112652, member: 43573"] Loading over max? I have been loading for 40 years this fall and never made a practice of doing that. Once in a while, very seldom though I end up over most lines but ......... very seldom and never as I was learning. The OP started this thread with this: "I am completely new to reloading so any and all help would be great." What I find with my rifles is that published load data is pretty accurate ........ particularily if you gather a good cross section of it from varied reputable sources. Many of my guns settle down in their best groups about 1 gr. under max on regular sized cartridges ...... less on the wee ones and a little more on the bigger ones. One class of cartridges breaks the above with individual rifles ........ the STW and it's variants and the RUM's and ilk. You have to remember that as competitive as powder companies are ......... they are scolded by lawyers but the bottom line and a desire to sell powder still is in the equation. If they under promote their powder, it's going to sit and collect dust. .................. and that won't pay the lawyers ........ Shoot safe! Three 44s [/QUOTE]
