[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 3027881, member: 10755"] I went through this early on prior to 1996 when semi auto rifles were banned. I had a Ruger Mini 14 and 2 BAR's one in 300WM & one in 338WM. The muzzle velocities on these were both way under bolt gun stuff I also had, so I wanted to increase that…big mistake! They just weren't capable of an increase due to design, but I wasn't savvy on this and I damaged both rifles doing so, only minor damage, but still damage. Lesson learned. Ever since, I have only ever loaded to optimum accuracy, velocity is of no concern to me, however, I will always pick an upper node over a lower one because the upper one is still normally under max pressure anyway and I have the means to test for this anyway. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
