[QUOTE="RG300WSM, post: 2806033, member: 117768"] I'm setting up my 300 WSM again and am having pressure issues at low charges. I have been FLS and bumping back my shoulders .002. Trying to work up a load but I'm getting the ejector mark and a hard bolt lift at only 2 grains above minimum load in the berger book with h4350 and h4831SC. I decided to set up my FLS die like the book says to and not worry about the .002 so now its sizing my brass back to factory specs which I know will probably end up ruining my brass quicker..... I had this same issue with my 7mm when I set it up. Started working loads with new brass. Found one up at the high end of the book loads that didn't show any pressure or hard bolt lift. Resized my brass bumping my shoulder back .002 then went out and shot and blew the primers right out of the case ha. Just curious if anyone else has had this issue before and what did you decide to do? The gun I'm setting the load up for is a 300 WSM built off a Remington 700 action with a 22" proof barrel using berger 210 gr vld hunting bullets. New Norma brass headspace length is 1.733 After the shot headspace is 1.741 Have been resizing to 1.739 Seating my bullets .010 off the lands. H4831sc start load is 57.5 gr and max is 64.0 gr. Im getting pressure signs at 59.5. [/QUOTE]
