Why should he back off if no over pressure? That charge, while not light, is totally in the ballpark. I run 45.5 varget under the 175. Its stiff, and almost certainly over SAAMI max, but is safe, and the brass is lasting. </div></div>
Ditto, also running 45.1gr varget under the 175SMK with no pressure signs (aside from the time that I left a crapload of oil in the barrel after cleaning and didnt patch it out before firing, but thats a different story). My rifle loves it and so do I.
