If my velocity at 9.5gr exceeds the velocity for the maximum load, it only makes sense that increasing the powder charge to 9.8 or 10 gr, would produce excessive pressure, especially in hot weather.
Did some ladder testing the other night im maxed out at 9.5 i will call 9.4 my max load range.
Now i have to go find a powder funnel lol first thing I realized as this is the first 17cal ive loaded for is my funnel is to big and my makeshift one sucks
