[QUOTE="Primative, post: 2428761, member: 121920"] This fall past fall I tested multiple different bullet and Blackhorn209 powder combinations in my CVA Accura LRX, with 100, 110, and 120 grains by volume using the Blackhorn209 tubes to measure. I have since read that these tubes are notoriously inaccurate. I double checked myself and yes, when I measured the 120 grain volume on my three different scales, I got 94.8 grains by weight. This is more than 10 grains over the 84 grain by weight measure that CVA says is the max charge for the 50 cal Accura LRX. It works out to 79% instead of the 70% that everyone uses for volume to weight conversion. My question is this: Since no harm came from exceeding the 84 grain limitation that CVA says is the max charge (other than a scope bite to my forehead), can I continue experiment up to that 94.8 grains by weight load, or should I simply count my lucky stars and not go there again? Does anyone exceed the max charge in their rifles on purpose? FYI, I have since purchased a brake and don't believe recoil will be a problem. [/QUOTE]
