It still sounds too good to be true, though, and I wish Andreas, had been a bit less cryptic - it's easier to accept advice in this dangerous business if the reasoning is explained.

Sorry about that, i didnt want to get to involved in a discussion as im not a expert it this, take a look here load data and the 45-120 it gives at least some idea on the pressures on the 450bpe.
And that german method of adding 10% bullet weight was on bp loads, i think it would be quite nasty with smokeless.
As asidenote most of the NE,s where also tested with a bp load, that gave the desired overpressure.
And naturally one needs to adapt the charge if one load with a heavier bullet, adding weight only ruins accuracy not the gun if the charge is dropped at the same time.
