I think the "hot load warning" is for others that may read this Nathan.

Very true. I'm quite sure the Mod. that put it there did it for the reason Buck stated. As I said in an earlier post: if it was a lesser plated bullet you would have had issues. Someone less experienced may use this and apply it to a bullet with a thinner plating layer and softer core and have a real issue. All plated bullets aren't the same. Below are the thicknesses for some plated bullets
Speer TMJ: .015"
X-Treme: .010" - .012"
PowerBond: .010" - .011"
Berry's Thick Plated (TP): .012"
Berry's regular: .006" - .008" (thickness varies for caliber)
HSM: .005"
Rainier: .004"
Personally I use Xtreme bullets and have driven them full steam ahead from the days they were West Coast Bullets. I tried Rainier fodder once, found myself pounding brass out with what were start loads for the Xtreme.
