Is anyone running a 6.5 CM load with Berger 140 backed with 41.5 gns of H 4350 and Fed match primer in Hornady & Peterson brass?? this is a bit over the top and was wondering if it was ok in this rifle. Shot a few and don't see any pressure signs. Shoots great but as I said it is a gn over max depending on which book you look at.
thanks

Max loads will vary slightly gun to gun. If you're seeing no pressure signs including acceptable case head expansion (measured with a blade micrometer), then you're probably okay. Brass life will probably be longer with a lighter load, though. How many loads are you getting from a piece of brass?
