[QUOTE="Precisiondirt, post: 1333525, member: 102263"] Hey guys, new to the forum but have been reloading for quite awhile. I have a savage 110 bad that is a very early model. I purchased about 2 months after they were released and am well aware they were prone to tight chambers. The question is how tight? And how much will it affect velocity vs powder charge? My load right now is 90 gr of retumbo, lapua brass, fed 215 under a 250 gr lapua scenar. This is a manual starting load but it crono's right about 2870fps witch is over the manuals max of 2853fps. Extraction is ok, no noticeable ejector swipe but the fed 215's are pretty flat. Brass has about 4 loadings and the only thing I haven't checked is brass neck thickness. My 300gr scenar load is same way. A starting load of 86 grs of retumbo gets me a almost maximum of 2640fps. The question is should I be worried that I'm pushing it too hard? Only pressure sign is flat primers. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
