“Does this sound right? I double checked 'zero' and made sure set to 58 grains”

Seeker, before the Internet friends/reloaders were multi-task-ers, they understood the 58 grain max? was a +/- factor based on the case, they knew the military 30/06 case was heavier, it did not bother me that they were only half correct when they decided to go with the assumption the military case was thicker, the half truth? The military case head is thinner by as much as .060”, so? the case body is thicker giving the military case a long powder column that is smaller in diameter.

Make no mistake, they knew Winchester anything was lighter and thinner, and they went under the assumption if the case was lighter it was thinner, therefore, the case had more capacity. For my multi-task-ers more capacity meant more powder. They were a very talented group of reloaders.
