do you load to max?

That every rifle I load for performs at its consistent best when load just below max. The one exception to the rule is a 338-06 that is just as consistent when loaded to max levels but, it also wears a match grade shilen barrel that is not finicky about what load you feed it. It shoots every load consistent. That in my opinion is the true mark of a good barrel. By the way I don't load my 338-06 to max levels even though it groups wonderfully, I'm a full grain below max capacity. If I wanted more performance from my 338 bullet I'd have opted for the 338 Win mag


Just my .02
