[QUOTE="tyfo, post: 782697, member: 48854"] I want to apologize to everyone for wasting their time, and also say thank you for the responses. I grossly underestimated what heavy bolt lift on this new rifle was. It felt like ejecting a normal round out of the other rifles I have loaded for. I went to chamber the rounds I shot this weekend and the majority were a snug fit, but I could not lock the bolt on 4 of them. I measured the web and came up with .0015 of expansion over the couple rounds that loaded no problem. I am really embarassed to make such and stupid mistake and also very thankful that nothing really bad happened. I will be doing it over again this weekend, but starting 10gr lower. As to my chrono being off. I took my friends chrono and put it right behind mine and shot paintballs through it to see if mine was reading higher. There was around a 15 fps difference on average. Both of these chronos have been accurate and verified by drop data many times so Im pretty sure unless something happened to both of them that mine is still reading fairly accurate. [/QUOTE]
