RE: working up a load?
As stated, if you are not already, I would try some felt wads undneath the maxiballs.
I would also shoot some groups at 75 gr, 80, 85, and 90gr at 25 yards and see if any of those seem to be doing better than 70 gr. If so, then move back to 50 and beyond and see how they do.
What are you planning to hunt with this load?
