A rifle will shoot accurate loads at normal shooting pressure.
Sometimes, some hunters, are not that accurate, so they adjust to hot loads.
If you want to shoot hot loads, find the appropriate rifle that fires those loads, as normal.

That makes no sense whatsoever. So you saying a bad shooter shoots hot loads well???? Whats an appropiate rifle? All rifles have to go off of specs of the caliber not the other way around

Then I had it rebarrled with a krieger and I could't even reach 95gr without pressure signs.
I can't emphasize it enough, with a new rifle, start low and build your way up again. We had a rifle incident at the range. A rifle can blow up.
Another lesson I learned is if you build a load in sub freezing weather, be careful shooting that load in 90F day. I had a load that would shoot great when I made them at 12F, but one summer day it locked my brass up cold in the chamber.

Also make sure to re-check/do your seating depth. Each time you have a change it's start over time - be that a rifle or component.
