[QUOTE="kraky, post: 138682, member: 180"] I have the same gun you have in the sako 30-378. I did alot of workup with mine this spring and found that my quickload program was very good at predicting results. I ran the load of 104 of re22 past it with the 180 tsx. It guesses that you are doing 3350fps at 69,000 psi. The brass used in the 30-378 is very strong. I believe you won't see sticky bolts till you hit this type of pressure and speed. I would recomend that you drop your loads till you are doing 3275-3300. If I had to make a guess what caused your high pressure out west on your hunt it could have been moisture, dust, or some combination of all including some barrel fouling. Anytime you make up ammo that is on the verge of sticking bolts at the shooting range when your gun is spotlessly clean you will probably be running more pressure when on the hunt. These are my opinions....and my gun may differ from yours. BTW....mine has been somewhat fussy but is really liking the 200 accubond. But I also have a 300 wby ultralight that has been EXTREMELY FUSSY and it is liking the 180 tsx over the 200 ab so there certainly is no set rule. Hope this helps....good shooting. [/QUOTE]
