Funny thing, for all the talking they ended up at exactly the same charge and pretty much the same speed as I get with the 210 gr Berger VLD. Mine are in Lapua brass with large primers, and I’ve been using the same brass for 4 years and haven’t a single one to a primer pocket yet.
There’s a ####load of people who load mid 40s of Varget and heavy bullets, nobody is breaking any new ground on this one.

Wasn't that long ago there was a "craze" of people loading 208 Hornadys to 2600+ in 308s. Tried it myself and all went well, so, people just have to push things once in a while to keep it interesting.

Small rifle primers or large rifle primers?
I'm pushing a 290 gr bullet in a 450 bushmaster at over 2300 fps, so yea there is some pressure in that chamber. It is a ruger #1, so I know I can push things a bit over book maximums.
Heck I'm pushing 2930fps with a 139 gr tip in my 6.5 creed, with a 26" barrel. This one is crisp on the edge.
