Just remember that every test is just that a test. Every one is going to be different. Speer vs Hornady vs Lyman etc Then there are the powder company tests.

As much as I like and respect Hodgdon (I use a lot of their powders) their load data usually is on the anemic or low end of all the others. But you can not get in trouble using their information. When ther is so much different data for the same bullet, I take the average of all of them and see were it fits in the overall load ranges. Speer "may seem high" but it is what it is, a valid test. OAL also plays a big part in high pressure loads.

I do not use many Speer or Hornady bullets except for some of the HP's. My FMJ range ammo is the same weight and shape as theirs so I have no issues using their data.

I can only speak for HP38, PP, BE and Win Auto Comp I have never used AA #7
