0.5 of a grain and you went up 100fps. I'd say you've now got a load that is truely over pressure in your rifle. 100 fps gains you what? 80ftlbs more energy, and a whopping 0.5 MOA less drop at 500 yds.
It doesn't matter what max is in Barnes manual, that's there lot of powder, their components, run through their test platform.
Save your components and back the load off, the gains mean nothing in the real world.
