[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 317188, member: 11717"] It's really, really, really a good a good idea NOT to start with a max load. Yesterday I started load deveolopment for a 300 RUM. I'm using 3 bullets and 2 powders. Hodgedon lists 100.5 gr of Retumbo as max for a 180 bullet (SPR SPBT). I started with 97.5 with a 180 E-Tip. Then stepped up a half gr to 98 gr - stiff bolt. Dont like to think what would have happened If i tried 100.5 gr right off the bat. Next I moved to H1000 with the 180 E-Tip. Nosler lists 92 as starting and 96 as max. Hodgdon also list 96 as max. I started with 93.5 and then step up a half gr again to 94 - stiff bolt. I was a warm day at 80*. There are good reasons not to start at max. -MR [/QUOTE]
