I prefer it in writing. My Savage manual has BH209 load data in writing. If something goes wrong, what someone said on a phone call is too easily debated in court. Knights current BH209 data says 120gr. I dont care what they say about T7 pellets. Its not the same powder. Would you reload a 45/70 with a powder that is similar and use the same data?
In writing its solid and officially approved by the manufacturer. CVA recommends 3 pellet loads that exceed 110gr loose powder pressure and even exceed what YOU said their barrels are tested to in PSI. They should be slapped silly for that one considering a single mistake with T7 pellets can reach over 30K psi easily. That makes me feel really safe in a 28K psi tested barrel.
