I doubt a load .1 grain off of the maximum will blow up your gun; I have loaded a lot at that level although not with BE.

You see some funny data in Lee, with the starting and maximum loads the same number. I think it is because they have a disk or dipper measure rated at 5 grains, know it has a minus tolerance and will always throw lighter, and list a nominal load range of 5 to 5 grains.
