[QUOTE="Keith1, post: 546872, member: 26846"] Joe, I have never shot VLDs so I don't know if they produce a lot of pressure or not but I will tell you one thing 80 grains of powder in a 300 case is a lot and not to be taken lightly. The way that I determine maximum powder is with a micrometer measuring case expansion across the belt. Using this method along with 7828 you can watch the pressure come on. I started using this method back in the 1970s using the old surplus 4831 and to me those two powders come on with pressure in a very simular way, nice and slow. No spikes or surprises. As you can see from my previous post my barrel has a non-standard throat and this lowers pressure quite a bit and therefore allows the use of more powder. Be safe Regards, Keith Semper Fi [/QUOTE]
