He did not work up to that load by test firing, increasing the load, etc. He just loaded them Saif the Rem Mod 700 takes 540000 psi and these would produce only xx0000 psi. Showed me the Hogdons book that seemed to prove him correct...but I don't reload,
this quote right here is what would scare me the most if I was you. I dont care if he had the exact same make and model gun you have noone should reload for another person without doing some testing before the first bullet is seated. Why would he load up 4 boxes of ammo not knowing whether theyd even cycle through your gun? I have dies from RCBS that will resize casings for my 7mm Ruger but they wont even allow me to close the bolt on my Savage. I needed to buy a second set of dies for the Savage. Be smart and dont shoot those loads. Take some time and learn all you can about reloading and get into it yourself, that way you KNOW whatYOU did instead of relying on someone else.
