[QUOTE="jessej, post: 2755935, member: 24557"] For me, it depends on what the rifle is used for. For a general purpose plinking/hunting/ higher shot volume rifle, I’ll be far more conservative, but if a rifle won’t shoot good at max pressure, I don’t want it. For a low volume hot rod hunting rifle, flat primers and ejector marks are the norm. I work it up to the starting of heavy bolt, then back off a 1/4 grain. These are for local to me shooting and hunting. If I’m loading for a long range trip where I’ll leave the gulf coast and and travel 1k-2k miles and 5k-10k elevation change, all the above goes out the window. Accuracy and precision is all that matters then. For that I want stable predictable rounds that put heavy projos exactly where I want them. Even if I sacrificed 100 fps. [/QUOTE]
