[QUOTE="countryrebel, post: 704844, member: 12656"] OK, measured the outside neck diameter on the lapua brass and it was .365". Set the bullets to 3.70 COL. Loaded 4 rounds in the mag and fired the top 2. Round 3 was setback to 3.615" and round 4 was setback to 3.640". Bullet tips are flattened from recoil in the magazine and there are no signs of overpressure on the fired rounds. This was using virgin brass.The berger 300gr bullets measure .338. Do you guys think the 89.0gr of retumbo is maybe too hot? I have some 285gr Hornadys that I will try and see if the problem persists. I am shooting off a bipod but I dont think that should matter. Any more ideas? [/QUOTE]
