[QUOTE="britz, post: 636566, member: 7865"] I would seariously consider using a different powder or a different bullet. I have no experience with that powder brand. However, I have had a similar experience using Hodgdon's loading data and a 22-250 switching to a 60 grain pill. I used a medium load to start with since I had maxed out the powder with no problem and a 55 grain bullet. First shot blew my primer out, stretched the case. Idiot me didn't realize that the case had blown out yet so I had shot an additional 2 rounds with the same result. I didn't realize until the 3rd shot actually blew the ejector plug back in the bolt face of my Savage rifle. moril is that the charts arent always right for every rifle/bullet/powder combo. and yes, i did pull my head out of my rear since then. ;) [/QUOTE]
