...FWIW, manufacturer posted load data ALWAYS carries the caveats about using the info as a "guide" and cautions with "start low & work up". As many have found over the years of their reloading experience, each barrel behaves differently and it is only through testing can one arrive at a preferred load. If ones component inventory is limited, start around the middle range of the published data and load only 3 rounds of each charge in the range you decide on, the 3 rounds will be enough to determine if you are exceeding pressure ranges for YOUR barrel. After that then you will have a more defined direction to proceed your load development with... I know, preaching to the choir but it's still useful info for the newer reloaders lurking in the silent shadows...
