N555 powder in the 6.5 CM

Tikka ace target, 24" barrel, lapua sp brass, 139gr lapua senar, cci 450, 42.8gr n555, velocity 2690fps (tikka barrel I've read are a little slow)
42.8 gr is above the listed max. I went off ultimate reloaders testing with n555 in 6.5 creedmoor and I have zero pressure signs with this load.
Accuracy is very good,3/4 moa or less at 100m, no problems with the 18" plate at 1000m and can hit the 12" every once in a while, my first summer shooting at those distances.
 
Sako S20, Peterson SRP, Lapua 139gr Scenar (GB458), 45.0gr N555, Federal Match Small Rifle Primer
About 0.003 jump, so loaded longer OAL than the book value, yields ~2800 fps muzzle velocity and shoots about 3/4 MOA (verified at 500m)
