16.5 grains of H110 under a 158 gr bullet.

That's a fairly hot load.

I would respectfully disagree - kind of.
I load a lot of 158 grain bullets with H-110 (and W296 - same stuff) with a charge considerably hotter than 16.5gn for quite a few years now. And I consider the charge weight I use now to be "de-tuned" compared to what I used to load back in pervious decades. 16.5 is pretty tame.
But I do agree that either way - "hot" or not - I wouldn't be concerned with putting that load (158 / 16.5gn H-110) through it. Like mehavey said, It would be a very long time before that load would loosen up the gun.
The general consensus is that running hot ammo with light bullets tends to be the problem.
