I have loaded a number of 357 mag rounds with 7.2 gr of BE-86. Nice comfortable load. I am interested in working up a stronger load (just seems appropriate for 357 mag - go big or go home). I have worked up to 7.8 grains so far and there are zero signs of any pressure issues. I am comfortable at this point of taking it to Alliant's max load of 8.1 gr.
My question is this; I have never worked up to a max load with any of my reloading. Assuming that the powder measure could vary .1 to .2 grains, is there an issue going above max recommendations, or are data charts from the manufacturers typically fairly conservative?
Thx
