[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1077327, member: 10291"] I agree with the prior comments. I would add that not all loading manuals are created equal as to the max load data. Some are more conservative than others. Variables that effect max pressure can be the rifle's chamber, seating depth of the bullet, powder lot, as well as the bore of the rifle. As mentioned, cratered primers may be caused by the machining of the bolt face. Stiff bolt lift and loose primer pockets are much surer signs of an overoressure condition which will cause me to back off. I like to operate lower than max pressure. [/QUOTE]
