Where did you get that info?

The nosler 7 manual shows 22g min 24g max with 22g @ 2.260" OAL being the most accurate at 2610fps using a 20" 1/7 twist barrel

That's the problem. I can't remember. I loaded them about 4 years ago. 25 of them. I can't remember what I was working up

25 g of h335 is the max load for a 55g bullet

Here is the Nosler 6 manual link

ETA: sounds like you need to pull some rounds....

For 69gr SMKs, Hodgdon shows a max of 24grs. I would pull them and rework if I were you.

Which is a load that should be carefully worked up to.
