[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 1678091, member: 307"] Well,alright then. Sorry it didn't pan out for you. I was really hoping it would. My 270AM has about 200 rds on it and I just bumped the load of US869 up to 93.5gn's from 93.0gn. Not sure what happened. It was shooting fine (.4") one session and the next it went to 1.0-1.5" and nothing apparently changed on my end. Thought it might be a carbon ring, so I cleaned it, good. Instead of bumping it up a 1/2 grain I went straight to an older accuracy load/node of 95.0gn and got pressure. Much more than before and enough I decided to start where I should at 93.5. Accuracy is back and velocity is a tad more than before. Makes me think maybe the barrel went through a "stage" of seasoning, if that's possible or even realistic. These throughbred cartridges are truly uncharted waters sometimes. Aggravating and exciting at the same time! [/QUOTE]
