[QUOTE="cfvickers, post: 596341, member: 25488"] Ok, No further pressure signs, not even flattened primers. Using brass that has not been trimmed and I have personally had issues (identical) with winchester brass being too long after firing factory ammo. The chamber on my own 111LRH will have a sticky bolt lift with ANY load if neck sizing, which is why I mentioned this. I am certain his chamber is sammi spec. However there are +/- tolerances in SAAMI specced chambers. If his were toward the lower end of the specs it would be quite a bit tighter than if it were at the upper end. I did not say tight neck or the such, I was speaking of the entire chamber, specifically the length of the chamber. If the case mouth jams into the end of the chamber when he fires it with the reload but has not measured the length of the case then it could very well be a safe load with brass that is beyond specs, which he said it was. I informed him that his load was near max, but did not seem unreasonable, which is the exact reason I discussed other possible causes. I have seen flattened primers with loads that were not hot, but I have not seen hot loads without flattened primers. That said, If you believe that every single SAAMI spec chamber has the exact same dimensions, then you need to get your head out of a book or off the web and go find you a dozen and try them. Why do you think all rifles have different maximum loads???? Because all chambers are not identical, even in factory rifles. This makes it sound as though you could use a little more experience yourself. Not everything you said was wrong, but nothing you said could possibly have proven me wrong. If the chamber were not saami specs he could not fire factory loads safely. I believe he understand that better than you apparently do. [/QUOTE]
