Funny (in a scary sort of way) that this reloader thinks working up a load means picking a number and start loading. I checked 168 gr boat tails in 30-06 in the Lyman manual (60.9 gr of Reloder 19). Picking a max load and adding more powder sounds like a bad idea. No wonder the powder was crunching!

Still, I just don't have enough experience with reloading to feel warm and fuzzy about experimenting with how far is too far.

Then play it safe and only use published load data. That way you'll gain good experience.
BTW, ball powders don't compress very well at all.
