Quick load question, 41.2gr 3031, 168 hpbt

Can someone with quick load run a quicky for me? Socom M1A, LC case, 34 primer. 2.8 oal, 41.2gr imr3031 under a 168gr sierra hpbt.

This load shoots terrific in my new 308AR (better than FGMM), adjustable gas block. 16" barrel. Comes up only 30fps shy of FGMM in the same gun. I have 42gr of 3031 listed as max in 2 different places, Lyman and IMR.

Whats the possibility of this being ok to run in the SOCOM?

I don't have Quickload... but if memory serves me right 39ish grains is better suited to the M1A gas system.

Do a Google search for IMR 3031 loads specific to the SOCOM... I know there have been quite a few threads here.
