[QUOTE="aushunter1, post: 1720392, member: 57533"] I always use the data provided by the actual powder manufacturer over a bullet or equipment manufacturer, even though they generally just publish at the powder co's data anyway, that is unless they have conducted their own real life testing. Generally speaking powder manufacturers published data is on the conservative side BUT it does not take into consideration of factors like different quality brass or different OAL which can influence pressure. While I do not promote it as you have to have the experience to understand all pressure signs I have gone up to 1.5gr over a published max load. As long as you have worked up the loads going through the min to max range at your OAL & you have no pressure signs at the max load then go for it! No one else but you can tell yourself something is safe or not!! [URL]https://www.hodgdonreloading.com/data/rifle[/URL] According to this 47.5gr BLC-2 is the max load! Other factors also include condition or age of rifle, some older rifles are not designed to withstand the pressures that a modern rifle can!! [/QUOTE]
