    85 g Barnes tsx. Have I stuffed up

    I have just received my 243 dies thanks to another forum member, so was keen to try some loads.
    Grabbed a sample pack of Barnes tsx in 85gn on my home from work, consulted the ADI guide book, and loaded up a dozen from start to max using AR2206h, as I already had powder.
    The guide book gives a start load of 35gn working up to 38 with that powder and an 85 grain pill, so that is what I went with.
    Test fired the start load and all good out of the little Rossi. No pressure signs etc and fairly accurate. Darkness fell, so I didn't get to fire any more.

    Then, while doing my online bits, I checked out the ADI website. This is where it gets interesting (for me)

    The website suggests the following load data specific to the Barnes tsx

    Start at 32.6 and max at 34.7.
    So now I have these loads made up that appear to be above max for the projectile, even at the start level.
    Do I pull them and start over (safest option??) or do I trust the adi guide book?
