[QUOTE="highfinblue, post: 2957295, member: 67530"] Don't have much experience with semi auto reloading, some, but little and was not attempting what you are, but every other platform I have loaded for cannot handle what bolt guns do. Break open single shot, rolling block single shots, pump guns, lever guns, and I'm sure I'm missing something I tinkered with over the last forty years just do not take the pressure a bolt gun routinely handles. My latest project was a Savage 99 in 308 Win. I started experiencing pressure problems with very moderate loads, so I backed off and settled. It's fine out to about 250 and that's probably 150 more than I would ever shoot it at game as it will be a carry gun in the timber. I had to send a Ruger Number One back to Ruger once because a half grain jump in powder was way too much. Ruger was amazing, fixed the rifle, no charge, even buffed out a scratch in the stainless receiver I put in it crossing a fence. If you get done what you're attempting my guess it will be time consuming and expensive, but I wish you the best. [/QUOTE]
