[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 1698451, member: 10429"] I had a similar issue with a savage in the 6.5 Norma. It always pressures out sooner than normal. I never had the gun looked at but one of the smiths at the range told me a loose chamber will pressure out sooner than a correct cut chamber. I'm not exactly sure what it means but I suspect it has something to do with how much the case has to expand in relation to the chamber or the actually size of the chamber. Any ways I just shot it and it still produced good accuracy but never reached any blistering speed of it. It ran the 140 around 2880. I still never understood how a loose chamber would do this. Anyway need to re-barrel it now. [/QUOTE]
