20 tactical max load

You don't start with a Max load.
Someone's else's max load migh be way over max in your gun.
Different barrels, different chambers ,different lots of powder all effect pressure or max loads.
Start low and work your way up. Max loads are not always the best loads.
Be safe. Be smart.

Where did the OP say he plans to start with a max load?
 
I shoot 133 & R10X, equal load density. Be aware 133 varies lot to lot.
That said, out of Lapua brass, I found 25.5 was about max, ended up @ 25.3.
if you’re not using Lapua, start around 24gr. and go from there.
I use R10X exclusively now, 133 for my BR guns.
That density yields 3930 fps, 40 Vmax, 26” Lilja, 1-11, and 4130fps, Vmax 32’s.
 
Thanks guys. I was wanting to know the max so I wouldn’t go over. I really don’t usually get close. I try to find the best load short of max or suggested max.
