RE: Remington Genesis - Powder Charge Question
Read any of the powder companies web sites and all they recommend is 100 grains max. I hold the powder companies recommendations which are lower than what my gun manual says and I'm fine and they shoot great.

RE: Remington Genesis - Powder Charge Question
I find it strange that on one had they recommend 100 grains from Hodgdons as the max load. Yet they make and sell a Triple Se7en magnum pellet which in reality is a true weight pellet equal to about 120 grains of loose powder if you were shooting Pyrodex or Goex. 
As we all know it boils down to who has the better lawyer and who warned who about what. Our society has progressed to a "not my fault" mentality about almost everything. I actually find some of the ideas they push rather funny. "In debt? Well it's not your fault." Hello?? Who used the credit cards then? Over weight? It's not your fault" So its all right to eat a bag of snickers bars every day??
Same with the powder companies. 100 grains is the max we recommend. We sell more then that but if you're dumb enough to blow yourself up, we can always say, we recommended 100 grains. Liability.. is the name of the game these days. Who's to blame? Well it's not my fault.
