Check you reloading manual 150 should start at about 46grs, and 163 around 45 grs. velocity will be around 2600f/s for both. Pressure is the key try to stay in the range of 44K to 46K it should operate the action with out any hitches,

Since this is your first post on the site what assurance do you have that some goof ball will not give you bad data?

Poll on loading manuals

47.5 grains IMR 4895 with a Std LRP behind a M2 ball, Hornady FMJ or M80 147 BT's with LC brass. Lee Factory Crimp perfect too.
