Nick Harvey was giving much higher loads at least up until his 6th edition which would be excessive to dangerous based on the current Hodgdon data.
Regards Grandpamac.

ADI data online and 9th edition print. thats their most up to date data specs and i was still .8 under max. but in saying that i dont know when the data was last reviewed. there was zero indication of high pressure in the 3 shoots beforehand. zero function issues to indicate bolt stretch or deformity, even the remaining case in the chamber looked normal minus the base. Thanks for you feed back its worth looking into that further.
