[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 978178, member: 52437"] thank you for your honest answer. I have been reloading 2 years now, handguns mostly, and have NEVER gone above a max load. Infact for my handguns I always stay close to minimum loads to aid in case life for plinking sessions. For rifles, I have only worked up loads for 2 rifles. My browning xbolt had FANTASTIC results at great speeds. I finally found a really accurate load for my mountain rifle but speed is lacking quite a bit but I have only tried a handful of loads with nosler partitions and a lot with the 168 TTSX. With both rifles and different loads I have always tested working my way up to the higher powder charges first to see signs of pressure. For my TTSX loads using imr 4064 I actually loaded .050 off lands, then worked all the way to book max with no signs of pressure. One odd thing was I experienced a slight flattened primer at 47.5 grains but 48, 48.5 49, 49.5, and 50 were all fine... [/QUOTE]
