[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2193015, member: 10755"] Not always the case. We had this happen within 2g of the predicted max charge, especially with bullets of 100g or less, but it even happened with 120g Partitions with H1000. When the 7RUM came out, and Remington had those 3 levels of ammo you could buy, we tried to duplicate the lower recoiling loads using canister powder, first was Benchmark...bad idea. Locked the bolt solid and broke the extractor, then H4885 and we had the same dented cases and abandoned the idea. We pulled Bullets on those factory Rem rounds and it was lucky to have a 2/3 fill of whatever ball powder they were using. If the 20 we fired in a production gun, 15 or 16 were sooted past the shoulder, velocity was as advertised. Anyway, it’s not always a light load that does this, it has to have certain parameters in the load/bullet/powder recipe for it to happen. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
