[QUOTE="Canadian Bushman, post: 905633, member: 41122"] It could mean that but to know for sure you will have to test further. I think regardless of your experience level, this is a good idea. I prefer to stay away from near max loads in order for safety and extending componet life. This is a good idea. I think sierra makes fine bullets and they usually shoot well in a large variety of rifles. You dont need a sierra manual to load sierra bullets. Simply find the starting load for a copper jacketed lead core bullet in the same weight from your nosler guide and begin working up from that load until you find a sweet spot or start seeing pressure signs. Be sure that you are using a similar primer as the guide as well. A magnum primer will cause a rise in pressure and may be unsafe. If only max loads are listed, reduce by 10%. [/QUOTE]
