That's what I've used for years (Speer #9) & currently use it in my 686-6 without issue. Apparently Speer lowered that load by the time I bought #13. If you hadn't noticed, Alliant's reloading data is the exact same as Speer's, since they use their bullets, as well as both being part of ATK Sporting Group.
Hornady #8 is 15.5gr, Lyman #49 is 16.5gr, but Sierra #5-v6 is 17.4grs !!

It's odd the work-up loads didn't have the same trouble. Could the temperature have been a factor?
Like's been said, some guns max out before others.
