Okay, here is some data straight from the load data.
First; 218 bee 40 gr SP Hodgdon H110 powder
Hodgdon online data starting load 12.5 max load 13.3
Hodgdon reloading manual circa 1987 no starting load, max load 9.0
Hornady reloading manual circa 1990 starting load 10.9 max load 11.6
Second example; 30-06 165 gr SPBT IMR 4064
Hodgdon online data starting load 49.0 max load 52.5
Hodgdon reloading manual circa 1987 starting load NL NL
Hornady reloading manual circa 1990 starting load 46.6 max load 49.9

There are more but these show what I'm talking about. Have a look at the starting load in the first line of each example and compare that to the max load shown in the next two lines.
