[QUOTE="Jpron, post: 2657233, member: 109080"] So I just got home from my elk hunt. I used a 300 wsm I put together myself. I’m shooting 195 gr badlands right at 2900 fps, using staball 6.5. It shoots great. Not to get to deep into hunt details but I ended up firing 4 times. I was getting some heavy bolt lift on the first three shots, The fourth shot, I couldn’t open the bolt, thank god that was the kill shot. I had a few pieces of brass when doing load development I could not get sized properly for whatever reason. I tossed those out. All other brass chambered fine. Would going from 800 feet to 8700 feet change pressure? I totally understand the elevation drop, but never thought about pressure. I was shooting high at a long distance [/QUOTE]
