[QUOTE="ken snyder, post: 604874, member: 26019"] So who is going to try N570 so I don't have to. I'm waiting for Reloader 33 to hit the shelves. I don't see any reason that Alliant would be the only powder company to make a special coating capable of giving the 338 LM an extra 150 fps. I'm not a Powder expert but I think they are both made at the same facility using the same methods or something that could be close. ( could be but wouldn't take it to the bank) I am still very skeptical about a sane load getting that close to 3,000 fps. I kind of lost track of who is having the loose primer pocket problems. The only time I have ever had any problems is when experimenting around with different primer manufacturers They don't all seem to be the same diameter and the larger ones will scrape out the hole too large for other primers. If they are stretching to a larger diameter I would consider that to be clear and 100% irrevocable evidence of way to high of pressure. ( For some I would even suggest that they take it a little easier with the pocket scraper but do not feel that it applies to any posts that are on this thread) [/QUOTE]
