Why stop at book max load?

Because having the bolt of my Winchester 670 sticking out of my skull isn't my idea of a fashion statement

Since I don't have the equipment to test the actual pressures being generated, I prefer to stay on the safe side.
The relationship between charge weight and generated pressure isn't linear.
ie: one grain more won't produce a known increase in pressure.
Do people go "off book"?
Of course they do.
Some of the best loads out there are a result of going outside the published figures.
Have I?
In my earlier and more foolish days - yes.
