The load info on the box is a bit misleading ,as Hornady loads their ammo by volume not weight and 41.5 gr. of H4350 is their book max load for 140's.
The early Factory 140gr. match loads I pulled bullets from and weighed the powder all weighed more than that ,some were almost 43.0 grains.
Hornady 6.5 CM. 143 ELD-X loaded factory brass from last year a buddy shot had high pressure signs ,primers really flat and some slightly protruding .They load them hot. I sized them ,did a quick load development and ended up with 41.5 gr. H4350 under 143 ELD-x's at 2674 fps. that showed none of the same pressure signs.
Worked fine for a quick hunting load ,I'll do more load work this year with Lapua SRP brass.
