[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 2859308, member: 796"] Sometimes the generic "load down 10% from max" does not apply to a specific powder/cartridge combination. For example, the well known WIN296 powder in pistol magnums carries the specific warning NOT to reduce below the listed data because there have been problems with reduced loads. It pays to read the fine print and know the specifics of the components being used. And as swampratt noted, changing any component from what was used in making the table potentially changes the pressure, and whether this matters depends on the specifics of the components, and how close you are working to max pressure already. My homely analogy for new loaders is that if you are standing 10 feet from a cliff and take a step closer, no problem, but if you are only a foot from the cliff and take another step,,,,,,,,,:bigeye: So, in regards to your Poll choices above, IT DEPENDS [/QUOTE]
