[QUOTE="Rez Exelon, post: 3582289, member: 5800"] Kind of on that note --- not to be that dude that says what you already know, but if you really did drop 7.3 grains in there then that kind of breaks a basic law of reloading to start low as that is the max listed charge. It's my understanding that typically as powder ages ("typically") it's going to burn faster at higher pressure, so that especially with older powder it's safer to start way down from max. Sure I've got some ancient but properly stored powder that I use, but I also don't count that the load data for it will translate to any recent powder I have. [/QUOTE]
