totally understand what your saying Muir but i've already used the same gun/bullet with other powders and they all work best at max. i use the h4895 with other bullets in the same rifle and theyre all at max or +. the man in the bullet shop says ignore the reccomendation to start low, you dont want to be down there!! (and he is a real person, not just some hick from the hills with too many guns and a broadband connection
)
with a new gun/powder/bullet i would always start low (ish)!!
anyway, the guns a R93 - theres a little spring piece of metal that stops the bolt from flying backwards so i'm sure it will be ok
