    Weird .308 load question

    I'm kind out of ideas so I figured I'd ask for help. I loaded up some long range loads for my .308 and my chronograph has me in doubt. My rifle has a stock Savage 12 bull barrel cut to 17 inches. My load is a 178 g AMAX over 41.5 grains of H4895 The Hodgdon website has 42.7 as max for a...
