[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 2750572, member: 26077"] You are free to call me names but just for giggles I would suggest you check a couple more loading manuals. Hodgdon lists max loads for the 1895 with a 250 Barnes as 39,000 PSI, and that goes down quickly as the bullet weight goes up. If you look at the Barnes data, they tested to 42,000 PSI in their 1895. Hodgdon lists max loads in the Ruger 1 and strong bolt actions "modern rifles" as 44,600 PSI for the 250 Barnes and that too drops by 5,000 psi with the 405. Do whatever you like with your guns, but I can tell you for sure humping that hot a load in an 1895 is going too loosen it up. [/QUOTE]
