Bob,
Glad you come thru this with out serious injury.
Bob was this rifle test fired by the gunsmith and did he say what load?
Have you been able to find someone elses data with H4895?
Have you checked the ones you did fire against your unfired rounds?
Not knowing anything about the 17 Beggs,this seems like it would be a reasonable load. Comparing it to some H4895 loads I have used in a 17 Remington. I know, you thought so also or you wouldn't have loaded it.

Not to steal your thread but this might be an oportunity to save someone else a problem.
More than once I have seen posts on here of how a load was extrapolated from a known load, in a comparable case, different caliber. For example.
The Beggs cases are somewhat close to a PPC case.
A max load in a 22 PPC is 28 gr of H4895 gives 50,000 C.U.P. with a 55gr bullet. THEREFORE Taking into account all load data has been Lawyer proofed.
A 17 Beggs is the same case therefore a 30gr bullet with 28 gr of H4895 should be safe so to be super safe lets only use 26gr of H4895.
It's even possible to make this sound reasonable.
Kenny
