    Depends on a lot of factors, My blaser barrels loads are generally under book max, my old Win model 70 is well over.... having a chrony helps. Normally I’ll reference a few loading books/online sites, then run a ladder test over the chrony, one shot & go up a grain each shot until I find the speed I want or pressure signs, then start shooting some groups from that data.
    Shut up, get out & start pushing!
