[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1446143, member: 30902"] Stiff bold is a definite pressure sign, you need to back off before you have a serious problem. I tried RL 23 and 26 with 130-136gr bullets and found that basically I could go with a near full case with no pressure signs. In a small caliber like this going up to the 147 makes a big difference in pressure so I'd be very careful. My advice would be to back off and quit worrying about about trying to max out speed, just get a good, solid, consistently accurate load and work with it. I'm no expert but I have thousands of rounds through 3 260's and several hundred dead critters shot with them so take it for what it's worth. [/QUOTE]
