[QUOTE="Rflshootr, post: 2914854, member: 10284"] You can't do that! It doesn't mean squat. Look at the target I posted as an example in post #143. Sierra lists max load with a 120 grain bullet as 42.0 grains of IMR 4064 and Nosler lists 39.0 grains max for a 123 grain bullet. My rifle maxed out at 40.5 with 123 ELDM. There are too many variables to go by what someone else's rifle and components maxed out at. Different brands of brass and primers can give completely different results. Different [B]lots[/B] of brass, primers and powder can give different results as well. Every rifle is different. The chamber is different. The throat is different. The head space is different. The barrels internal dimensions and finish are different. The twist rate may be different. The number of lands and grooves may be different. Bullet seating depths change pressures as well. You can't safely go by the results of someone else's experience. As a[B] good, safe reloader[/B], you need to work [B]your load [/B]to [B]your rifle and components. There is NO substitute! [/B]So, my advice to you is to do your own load work up with your specific components, in your rifle and don't be one of those guys that endangers himself and anyone else around him by trying to shortcut the process and save a few bullets or some powder. Do it correctly. Be a safe reloader. Keep yourself and others safe as well. The data that bullet and powder manufacturers publish is a [B]starting[/B] [B]guide[/B], [B]NOT [/B]an ending point. It also wouldn't be wise for anyone to PM you data of their results for the same liability reasons as why you think the powder and bullet manufacturers publish what they do. [/QUOTE]
