[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 762127, member: 10291"] Something doesn't seem right. I can't understand why your rifle is showing pressure signs at such a low charge weight. Could i ask as few wuestions? How are you determining that your rounds are at the pressure limit, flattened primers, tight bolt, other? Do you mean .080" off the lands in the above conditions? Have you compared the head space of a fired round with new Laupua? A fired case shoul be about .003-005" longer at the shoulder. What is your COAL of your loaded round? A few of the Savage LRH's and Predators I have seen run 3.19" to the lands with 140 Bergers. I load .075" out for a COAL of 3.12". Your velocity is in the right range for your powder weight. Mine runs 2800FPS with 51.5gr of H4831sc, 2945 with 53 gr. At 54 bolt lift is a little stiff, so I backed off to 53. The rifle will take 59 gr of Retumbo, and generate 3020 FPS but I use 57.5 at 2965 for best accuracy and ES. [/QUOTE]
