[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1003818, member: 52437"] Please remember book values come from that book makers specific rifle/chamber, brass, primer, powder/lot# and bullet lot# which can/will differ from your's. I also want to comment that it looks like you started right near the top of the load range. I would want to at least start below half way powder charge, maybe even at the lowest listed value and work up from there. Personally I load one bullet at the bottom value...then move up .5-1 grains until I start getting near mid to upper end. I may even cut back to .2-.5 grains from there until I find my rifles first signs of pressure. Many times this has been over book value, sometimes it has been well under for a certain powder/lot#. From that top value I back off a grain or so as my max safe value. Just my two cents. [/QUOTE]
