I wouldn't do that. You may end up buying a new gun or worse. Work up is the best advice there is. Don't be tempted to start with a max load listed in a reloading book. It was good in THEIR rifle, not yours.

When I started loading I picked a max load for my 6mm and backed it off only .5 gr. I needed two hands on the pump to get the action open after firing 1 round. Even though it was under max in the book, it was over max in my gun.
