always! I like my gun and hands the way they are! I only loaded 1 round to check pressures. It did launch the casing pretty far, recoil seemed normal. There seemed to be a little bit of excessive primer flow compared to the others but no flattening. One of the reasons I felt ok pushing was my OAL was a little longer than the book. This could be why I didn't get where I was trying to go, but I felt with the extra space in the case I had a little cushion to push to the lee manual max.
In short, with no real increase going from 4.4 to 4.8, I am going to stick to 4.4 as the max, no sense in pushing if there is no meaningful gain.
