[QUOTE="Oldschool280, post: 1750870, member: 94521"] so i went to the range today with the.257 weatherby and some speer 120’s. I used speer’s data and had some denting occuring in much of The brass. Feom what i have read this is from under pressure or hardened necks. The brass was annealed and trimmed just prior to use. Speer lists the starting charge for rl25 at 63 grains and max at 67. Other bullet manufacturers list a starting load for a 120 grain bullet at 67 and max at 71. I did not get any blowby in the face, perhaps the belt helped with that?.it didnt do it every time, it put two through the same hole at 64 grains but only dented one of the two cases. No signs of pressure at the listed max of 67 by speer. I think i might keep going up to find the next node. Any suggestions? [/QUOTE]
