Your velocity numbers don't make sense to me.

Could you check your data and verify it's correct, then let us know?

If you chronograph numbers are what you say, I suspect your loads are way too hot and pressure's too high for safety.
 
If I am reading correctly, you are measuring with a chrono from 3 yards?

If you are, you are way too close and getting muzzle blast also. Try moving the chrono to 15-20 ft away from the muzzle.
