[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2875759, member: 101791"] That's why I do a run up on powder loads in .5gr increases for cases that hold about 70gr. Under that I only increase by .25grs. I will load 15 to 20 case with those increase. Go to the range and test them. Watching very carefully what the primers are telling me, and no heavy bolt lift or ejector marks starting to show. I kind of feel if you are seeing ejector marks or heavy bolt lift. The primer are already creator. I do run a larger target paper to see how the bullets are grouping. I don't expect much, because of the increase in powder for each load. Now I haven't tested a load in a long time. My reloading area has be taken down. Have all kinds of new tools to reload with, and a bunch of changes going on. I have one new rifle and I think I will have second one about them. Another one at the smith's waiting for items to show up. It's kind of like: Hurry up and wait. Must be back in the Army again. 🤣 😁 I like the input. [/QUOTE]
