[QUOTE="Vettepilot, post: 1981066, member: 114372"] So we've all seen it advised a bazillion times; "....[I][U]work up a load slowly in [B][I]your[/I][/B] gun, watching for pressure signs[/U][/I]". And, "[I][U]If you change any component, start over on load workup with a reduced charge[/U][/I]". Now sometimes it is difficult when reloading to match the performance, at least in terms of velocity, of factory loaded ammo. To be competitive, and keep the buying public happy, (and brand loyal), factory ammo has to have relatively high velocity performance for each given cartridge. So how do they do it? How do they make rounds with respectable velocity, that are safe in "[B][I]any gun of modern manufacture in good condition[/I][/B]"?? I realize they use powders that we don't have access to, but where's the "magic"? High performance loads, that work in ANY gun, (and are safe) ,with no gun specific load workup. What am I missing here?? Vettepilot [/QUOTE]
