[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1306873"] If the action is a Weatherby (Mark V or Vanguard), you won't see bolt lift problems until you are practically melting your brass in the chamber. All my "factory" Weatherby ammunition shows an ejector mark. My most accurate Weatherby + Barnes loads are far from the lands and going fast. If it's not accurate, I go faster until it gets worse or the ejector marks are worse than factory. I've never lost a primer pocket. I have never stretched the case forward of the belt. I have purchased "proof" brass where the case was stretched forward of the belt. An [url=http://www.larrywillis.com/]Innovative Technologies - Reloading Equipment[/url] collet die fixes that and the primer pockets are fine. It is not a "good" practice to load to pressures that cause ejector marks but many hunters do. Correlating between longer seating and how much powder to add is something to consider. How much above "book" to have the same pressures yet increased velocity and accuracy. That is of course the challenge. Good luck and be careful. [/QUOTE]
