To be honest... I never worried about it (although as a match shooter, I probably should).  I always load 40.0 grains of 4350 in every case... both Remington and Winchester.  I do weigh every charge though to ensure it is exactly 40.0 grains.  I do fairly well with it!




I always measure each load as well. 
I have worked my load up using the recent Remington brass.  I am at 39 grains of IMR 4350 now and I am in the low 1900 ft/ sec already.  (1910-1935)  That is a little over 100 ft/ sec faster than my first loads which were loaded to 38 grains of that powder.  So, a little over 100 ft/ sec more velocity with one full grain of powder.  Is this way off or about right with these rifles and complainants?
My question is that since I am already up to an average of about 1920 ft/ sec at 39 grains of 4350 maybe 40 will put me a little bit high?  (My rifle is in spec and has an excellent original barrel.)
Thoughts? 
Correction:  I mistyped my my original loading.  It should read 38 Grains, not 37 grains.  I have corrected it in the text. So it was about a 100 ft/ sec increase as I stated above.
