[QUOTE="Leyerly338, post: 633502, member: 42650"] Iv'e been working on load Development for My 110FCP, Have close to 100rnds through it so far. Have tried some loads using US869, H1000 and IMR4831. It seems to like 100gr of US869 and 91.0gr of H1000 the best and pushing Berger OTM's @ .020" Jump so far, I'll tighten that up soon. The issue is the Brass keeps sticking in the chamber and I have to use the cleaning rod to free them, with lite taps only. I don't see any obvious signs of a pressure issue but this is also My first experience with hand loading. Bolt closure is only slightly tight at the lock down point but it's tight to lift the bolt and open it as well. It seems to have only issues with the close to land loads, the .070" jump rounds don't stick at all. Any ideas?? I talked to a Smith who said 99% of the time it's a dirty or tight chamber that could be polished out. Thanks in advance. HSM (Bertram) Brass 2.714" Fed 215 match primers Berger 300gr OTM's 100gr US869 & 91.0gr H1000 Savage 110FCP 26" Tube 9" twist. [/QUOTE]
