The minimum charge on Hodgdon?s site produces 42,100 CUP, pretty high for a case that size. The Contender was chambered to the same sized .45 Win Mag, Hodgdon lists a maximum pressure of 38,400 CUP. Years ago I stretched a frame with what I thought was a ?safe? load. I too would recommend caution.

Based on total trigger pull weight, my trigger finger has lifted well over 200 tons....
