(spelling) 26 inch barrel with DE break 40x trigger sey at 2.5 pounds mcmillian a3 stock ajustable cheek and LOP seeking ext box mag 3.900 COAL oversized recoil lug.. holland I believe all work done but gunsmith alright, to the question at hand:) so this am I loaded 85-91 grains of h1000 1 grain steps for pressure test. fed215 match primers and remington 300rum brass necked up to accept the 338 bullet.. I shot the 8 rounds this morning with no pressure signs at all. but I did see some flattened primers on a couple of rounds. 86grains and again at 90 grains, but all other rounds had no flattening what so ever which was weird to me.
