[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 663428, member: 48043"] The firing pin cupping is very common on the newer rems I've seen. The older rifles, not so much. Loose manufacturing tolerances on the newer ones. Varget, 4320, vit 540, vit550, 4064, 4895,rl15 and a few of the aa powders are all pretty good in that class of cartridge. The e-tip develops a heck of a lot of pressure for it's charge, and I had trouble hitting 3200 fps in the 300win with it. The barnes tsx variants are a lot better, and the hornady mono's are similar. Check your barrel length in relation to the book barrel, if your barrel is shorter, you won't make full velocity. [/QUOTE]
