.338 rum reloads

hello all! i'm new to the site although i have been reading it for some time now and have really enjoyed the stories and info.

my question is this.i have a remington m700 lss 26inch barrel.i just fired some loads i worked up from info i found on internet.and they are quite a bit faster than they should be according to the info i have.

example info 250 gr hornady 95 grns.retumbo
2798fps in a 24 in barrel.max is 101 grns at
2964 fps.

my load is 250 grn sierra gameking 95 grns retumbo 3262 in 26 in barrel.96 grns was 3412 fps.

example 2 imr 4831 max load of 81.8 grns at
2770 fps.

my load imr 4831 76 grns at 2722 fps.

example 3 imr 4350 max 79.5 at 2750 fps.

my load imr 4350 77 grns at 2725 fps.my 75grn and 76 grn loads my chrono errored and i didn't get a reading.

factory core lokt 250 grn was at 2846 fps.

and there was no obvious sign of pressure.had my brother-in-law with me he has reloaded for several years and he also didn't see any real sign of to much pressure.
but was concerned because of the velocity being so high.any idea's on what is going on with this rifle?
also no sign that bullets were seated out in the lands.
any ideas and info are appreciated.
thanks
barrett
