Correct, For example, I shot a remmy 7-08 SPS today, ADI 2208 for 140 BTips, books say about 42gn for 2820-2850fps

At 42gn I was only getting 2680fps out of this rifle, so worked up to 44gn for 2800fps with no pressure signs, will try 44.5, 45 next time. I'm picking 45gn will be about a safe working max, 3gn over the Nosler book.
