[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 986647, member: 2011"] Powder bridging "could" be your problem but I doubt it. Try a ball powder of close to the same burning rate as 4831 and see what happens. The shoulder on the Swift isn't steep enough and the cartridge doesn't seem over bore enough for bridging especially with the short stick powder. I get similar results as you describe with a light for caliber bullet and very slow powder in a 270 extreme mag. If you are using a mag primer, try a lesser one and see what happens. If not switch the other way. Give 4064 a go. [/QUOTE]
