While you might be okay in the rifle holding that kinda of pressure. Your over the limit just a tad. I wouldn't be handing your buddy at the range a round and say here try this in your rifle. After a good friend of mine and I thought competent reloader handed me a 41 rem mag loads that had so much pressure it flaked some of the nickel right off the side of my Model 57 I was a tad upset. I don't shoot other people stuff anymore, ever. Well at least not in my firearms.
But if you look in most modern reloading books most of them have Knocked 100fps off all the loads compared to the old manuals. I load for accuracy and speed but I don't break that line where accuracy is compromised for power and speed.

I did some chrono's today with this load, first shot was 2660 and rose to 2695-2730 with one at 2760. Will my first shot be low and rise as the barrel warmed up I let it cool between shots, but not cold it, it was warm.
The load is 48.5 gr rl19 and a 162 gr sst with win. primers.
what do you all think about trying magnum primers would it help the velocity spread.
Bolt opened fine just primers are flattened.

Generally, mag primers will hurt the std dev of velocity with powders like RL19 and faster burning. Always worth a try. If you move up to RL22, thats a different story.
