No, it's one grain over maximum, and in my rifle it gets less pressure than the book max does. I have a good chronograph and consider such things. Some people act as if book maximums are like a brick wall, but they are many variables and are more like saying what a collective safe driving speed is.

The 70g load is half a grain over, and same situation.
