[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2480473, member: 109862"] Okay fine I’ll tell you! 🤣 When I was new to reloading I kept hearing all about loading close to lands (don’t really bother with that anymore) but didn’t know how much that changed the pressure. Just went on ahead like a dolt and jammed a 180 btip right on in there with my .300 win mag 😃 and kept using the charge I had been using before. - for the record Nosler b tips do just fine with normal Depths, no need to screw around with that with most hunting bullets. Aaaaaaanyways….horrendous recoil. Just sounded wrong when it went off too, not your healthy kaboom…just straight up evil sounding. Broke a scope internally. Had to hammer the bolt open with a mallet and pound it back to eject the case (which was sooty and missing a primer with visible web bulge). Happened to have my chronograph out. 3500 fps. When a 24 inch .300 win mag outperforms a .30-378 (at least in their factory ammo), to say that something went wrong is putting it lightly. [/QUOTE]
