Thread: Tiptoeing past max load

" I never took much notice of how much powder I used to put in my shotgun shells 'till one day when I pulled the trigger and the bang rattled the teeth on the other side of my face" - a guy I once knew.

If you've gone past Max Load:

What increments did you use ie .3/.5/1.0, How far did you go, What pressure signs convinced you to stop?

Also what powders did you use, what powders would you never use, and did your alcohol consumption spike soon after testing ?

I realise some of this was covered in the last thread, but I think it's an interesting topic on it's own.
