OK. I had similar issues on my CA rifles, a ridgeline and a MPR, both 6.5 PRC. I got a lot of good advice from the guys on the forum, but what ultimately solved my problem was simply seating depth. I was seating my bullets out too far, and that was causing ALL of my high pressure signs...

I like mine. 6.5 Creedmoor. Good ergonomics, Good trigger. Sub MOA. Suppresses and cycles well. The velocity on mine is a little slower than my other 6.5. I think the barrel is shorter than my Ruger American, but the shorter barrel is nice when you use a suppressor. I like the folding stock...

Wow! Great, old bear! What a trip!!! Congratulations!

I have 2 CA rifles in 6.5 PRC, a Ridgeline and a MPR. I was having some significant pressure issues with both rifles. After quite a bit of trial and error, I found that both rifles, but especially the MPR, have short throats and I was not seating the bullets deep enough. I was getting blown...

Yes. 2977fps, SD 15.12, and it shot really well, my last 3 shot group had all holes touching

Well, I never exceed max loads for the powder I'm using, and my velocities never get higher than expected. I have had a sticky bolt lift a few times and I never went past that point, but that's only happened to me a couple of times, ever. I'm certainly open to fixing what I'm doing wrong...

Here’s a photo of some brass after I “cleaned” it. The primer pockets are dirty because I tumble it with the primer in. I hate digging the media out of the flash holes. If I’m getting close to killing my self, someone let me know.

Oh man, you guys are killing me. 😬😬😬. I usually clean the brass in a vibratory tumbler with walnut media every-other firing. I always shoot suppressed, so that makes things dirtier. Here’s the bolt face again. I don’t know what to say. The whole bolt is black. I think it’s pretty clean. I don’t...

Some of the fired brass that didn’t explode…

😬😬😬. You guys are scaring me now. I don’t see any damage, 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s a little hard to see, but the primer pocket was definitely damaged.

Just removed the primer. Definitely a hole in the primer. Is this a pretty rare thing? I’ve never seen it before, but I don’t have the experience a lot of you do

Crap. You’re correct. It’s been a long day. I was shooting 56.7gr w/ a Win Mag primer. So I was still under max load. That makes me feel better. Like I said earlier, I don’t usually push the max reloading.

So I was 1.9gr over max. That’s not what I usually do. Not sure where I messed up. Great info in that chart. Thanks!

First for me as well. I'm really glad I had my glasses on. Not sure if the powder residue would have made to my eye, but it would have been very close.
