picked up the dies from Cabela's about a week ago

I'm surprised that Lee would alter their NEVER EXCEED value from 4.0gr to 4.5gr [a 12.5% increase] given that Hodgdon still maintains the max load is 4.0gr. Just curious but what is the copyright date shown on the dies set instruction insert sheet that you bought?

This does seem very high - and undoubtedly a compressed load. With that much powder, and it's slow burn rate, you will definitely not burn all of the powder.

My choice, 100 grain plated bullet, 3 grains of Titegroup and this produces factory results on the chrono with the reloads.
