Hey Gd thanks for the info. I'm at 62 gr now. I think I might stop there!!!!

Does your books give a velocity for 58gr IMR 4350 with the Nosler 180gr BT???

This is the information from Nosler book (fifth edition) for all 180 grain with IMR4350.
Max. 65.0 = 3024 fps.
63.0 = 2946 fps.
61.0 = 2861 fps.

No problem, I also have the new Sierra and Hornady books if you require additional info.

All the loads I gave you that I use and have had good accuracy are at the max loads. There are built in safety factors from both the reloading data and the firearm ratings so I am not affraid to be at or slightly above the max loads.
