So I was browsing the hodgdon data center and noticed that for 350gr fp for the 1895 marlin they have the load starting at 47gr and max load is 50gr! for IMR 4198..Now my 7th ed. hornady reloading manual ends at 45.3gr for the 350gr fp. I fired off one at 45.3 today and now I loaded 2 more up at 45.8 by mistake, but with the additional data from hodgdon ... should I worry about going over 45.3gr by .5? I would like to go for the higher loads listed on the hodgdon data center, but am hesitant unless others have some feedback for me on this data. I am shooting a 1895gs.
