[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1943296, member: 10178"] With custom chambers they sometimes tend to be a bit more tighter than "factory" chambers. I have a Shilen barreled 264 Win mag and am shooting Retumbo with 130 gr Accubonds. I ran into pressure 2 grs below book max with the bullet 20 thousands off the lands. This rifle has a tight chamber. The FL sizing die just barely does any sizing at the web. Even with the lower power charge I am getting the velocity that the highest charge would deliver. I am surprised that someone would fire higher charged loads after they had stuck cases without finding out why. Fingers and faces don't grow back. Be careful. Back off the load and back the bullet off at least 20 thousands and work up to what YOUR RIFLE's load is. That is my advice. [/QUOTE]
