Please provide the data source for that load.

As required by the forum rules, see the header at the top of the forum.

Not acceptable for the same reasons as Quickload.

Quickload uses manufacturers data bases as well that is how these predictors work.

These programmes manipulate the data so can give loads outwith the printed pressure tested data.

Only printed pressure tested data is acceptable and reliable.

So long as the loads in the tables have been pressure tested and this can be evidenced.

Reputable powder manufacturers get their loads pressure tested that is why they give a minimum/maximum. Some even give the pressures in their data.

An email to the powder manufacturer will usually reveal how they test for their load data.

If you are using a load that is within those published parameters for that powder and load then say the source and you have provided the evidence.

If you don't have that evidence then do not show that load here.

Sharing loads around the internet or anywhere else is an extremely irresponsible and dangerous practice that should be challenged at every opportunity. Your loads are your loads for your rifle and has no practical bearing on anyone else's load!

All loads should be carefully worked up from published pressure tested data and whatever load you settle on is specific to you and your rifle.

The proof house will pressure test your loads for a price. Personally I wouldn't give those thieving bastards the money.

I see no purpose at all in sharing loads on the internet, it is a dangerous irrelevance to anyone else. Hence the rule that any load posted here must evidence its source as proof of a responsible approach to hand loading.

Ok I got it, just to make sure, screen from RS website was good enough for evidence? I believe they tested it not guesstimated ?

So long as the company confirms pressure testing.

Believing it to be so is not knowing it to be so.
