I'm not trying to be rude but did you fire any of them in the intended rifle?? How do you know it's not under or over pressured? Or accurate for that matter lol.
I don't yet no. I was saying there shouldn't be an over pressure issue at 63.8 grs, due to the fact they are belted and there's still a bit of volume in the casing. I don't have the rifle or else I would have. Starting lower would have left a lot more room which I wasn't comfortable with when it's not for myself. I'll be changing it if it's not accurate. I'm just helping him out as he really wanted to try them but doesn't know how to reload

Ummm …. H3ll to the no….
Everybody thinks what they think lol. Lots of people reload for friends. If they're comfortable with what they do. I've done lots of loads for friends when Covid hit and nobody could get ammo. It's all gone extremely well. I think doing it by hand is way more safe then trusting factory ammo done by a machine that I in fact just had another one of my friends had Nosler factory ammo blow up in his face.
As you say to each their own, but the only way I would do an unproven load for someone else is if I tested it myself. Heck I won't even load for my buddies unless they are observing in the reloading room with me.
The most I know is that it worked for somebody with the same load. I'm younger, with hopes of owning my own loading company. It's something I've always loved doing and have taken an extreme interest in. Everybody starts somewhere. I take extreme care and take days and days of research before I even do anything with a load. But, I definitely get everyone's concerns. It always gives me a great stress when I'm loading for a friend because if someone got hurt
