[QUOTE="Broz, post: 633631, member: 7503"] Sure sounds like pressure to me. I would back it off to 89 gr of H-1000 and see how it acts as far as the sticking issue. The newer lots of H-1000 are said to be hotter than older lots by 3 grains. So this could very well be it as about any 338 LM I have seen is Hot at 92 to 93 gr with old lots. Are you using Lapua headstamp brass? Also I dont like the sounds of the "Bolt closure is only slightly tight at the lock down point" either. This could be that you are not getting the shoulder bumped back far enough and need to set the die deeper. Anyway, I say back her off, and work with seating depth then. You may be playing on the edge of a potential disaster. Jeff [/QUOTE]
