I don't mind at all. Hopefully I have been clear enough (In my first post I mentioned it's over max and again when I posted over max data).

When venturing past max, my new approach is to cross reference with Gordon's Reloading Tool and data from previous testing. But yes it is very much at your own peril.

I don't know of this helps anyone, but I'm getting an average of 2620 FPS with 129 Hornady interlocks in a 21" barrelled '96 Husky using 46grs of 2209.
