Was just thinking, my 1961 Speer manual has heavier Max loads listed than any of my more modern manuals, but it doesn't cover all the newer calibers that are now available.
A guy just mentioned a load for the the .308 that I though was pretty stout, looked it up in that old manual and there it was.
As has been mentioned many times, work up the ladder toward a Max load, and if signs of pressure start showing up back off a hair, I am over the max load listed in some books for the "06", but am at the max listed in in that 1961 Speer manual.
There are a bunch of us that shoot that "06" load in multiple guns, none of us ever had a problem with it spanning a 60 yr. timeframe and it has accounted for a lot of deer.
