Go to ramshots online data. My load is a bit over their max, but in my opinion max is limited by how much of this powder you can kram in the case on .270 WSM. If I could kram more in, I would. Having said that, you know all the warnings about going over max published data; keep them in mind. Ramshot Magnum is capable of being superbly accurate in the WSM, just have to find your load which I can guarantee will be different than mine especially with a Berger and the difference in seat depth from rifle to rifle. I am getting some primer flattening, but that is not necessarily too bad a thing with soft Federal primers. I am sure if I tested with a Remington it would not be showing any flattening.
