Hornady also gives slightly different loads for H110 and W296 which we all know are the exact same powder. The recipes are tho, very similar only differing because of a different test day. Hornady #7 doesn't even list 2400 with the 265 grainer anymore, but the powders it does list, max loads are generally within a tenth of a grain or two. This even tho test barrels were completely different. This tell me, what is safe for one is safe in the other.

I didn't say the SAAMI specs were the same for rifle and pistol, I said the actions of both were built
"for the same SAAMI bullet specs"(you quoted me on this) which is a max pressure of 36,000 PSI . Same goes for the case dimensions. This again tells me what is safe in one is safe in the other. My error was calling the cartridge a bullet. My bad there.
