[QUOTE="Roadking Larry, post: 821405, member: 2833"] I suspect that part of the differences in loads published by different sources is due to the old ways of measuring pressure. Modern equipment is more precise and is slowly becoming standardized across the industry. I expect we will begin to see less differences between sources as time goes by. Another possible reason is some of the published data is from old "tried and true" loads that was worked up years ago and the properties of the powder has changed slightly over the years. I always make it a habit to check several sources when working up a new load and always start at least 10% below the lowest max load for a given powder and bullet weight/type and work up from there.
