  Andy, I am looking at my Lyman Manual 45th Edition and it lists the 139 grain jacketed bullet with IMR4350 powder as follows: suggested starting load= 43.0 grains. Maximum load = 48.0 grains(compressed load). So according to my manual your load of 51.0 grains would be 3 grains over maximum. Having said this I would add that the load data was tested in a Model 95 mauser and not a model 98. A model 95 normally has a pressure limit at about 45,000 psi while a model 98 has a limit of about 50000 psi. Hope this helps. Jim
